Case Study Method as an Educational Model Implications for Explaining Martyr Soleimani’s School

Problem-based teaching methodology, more specifically called case study methodology, is an effective method in problem-orientation, rational and motivational learning. Reviewing documents and experiences, this analytical-descriptive research, aims at proposing a new and practical version of this method and its implications for explaining Martyr Soleimani’s School. Thus, while going over  the concept, objectives, origins, and advantages of the case study, the researcher has introduced the types of case studies in terms of how they are formulated (short or long, real or unreal, single-stage or multi-stage, static or dynamic, written or spoken, explanatory or inquisitive), the method of implementation (inside or outside the field, individual or collective, single or multi-session, group or team, with or without accessibility, closed or open ended), and the role of instructors and teachers (descriptors, explainers, facilitators, or active actors). The researcher continued with explaining four other considerations in preliminary stage (documentary or imaginative, inductive or deductive approach, individual or situational orientation, deep or wide perspective). Moreover, nine operational steps are identified for the case study implementation stage along with some points regarding the evaluation phase. To end, if we are going to know and introduce Martyr Soleimani as a school, we are supposed to pay more attention to him and other similar commanders in the university curriculum in a new and different way. A simple way to achieve this goal is to benefit from case study model of education which cannot be achieved unless when people close to Martyr Soleimani come together and synergize their efforts by inviting scholars of management and literary intellectuals to propose an attractive, effective and real case study.
