Participants in this study received a short-term implementation of one of these three major approaches to case-based learning. Specifically, this study focused on analyzing students’ open-ended responses to classroom management problems presented during instruction using one of these methods. The results showed the worked example group, compared to the case-based reasoning and faded worked example groups, consistently performed better on analyzing cases and solving problem cases related to classroom management.
