摘要

Pedagogy today has a greater need to focus on relevance for students between course content and the real world of student life and work.Educators across disciplines have found a challenge to engage students in learning activities that carry value for them.The case study is a pedagogical tool that can connect student learning to real life examples.Narratives from books and movies present characters and situations that provide opportunity for student analysis within course concepts and student application to both personal and professional experience.Students enter example experiences that they might encounter and gain insight of potential response.This qualitative study examined graduate course work with case studies in Life-span Development,Multi-cultural Counseling,and Traumatology in which students reviewed books and movies with case examples aligned with course content.The instructor provided structured analysis format in which students were required to reflect on both personal and professional application relevant to the focus of the course.Student responses indicated perception of strong value for insight and application gained from the case studies and also high perception of use of these as tools in their own future work as educators or mental health professionals.
