English abstract

Based on an examination of the use of case method in Information Unit Management courses, this study aims to demonstrate the significant influence of this approach as a valid methodology for teaching courses in the School of Library and Information Science. Researchers conclude that the case method is effective: it not only significantly improves the quantitative results of learning; but also, from a qualitative standpoint, enriches the teaching/learning experience through improved communication with students, while encouraging critical thinking and better overall engagement with curricular objectives. The paper also offers a historical overview of the case method, key definitions and features, steps for implementation and several case studies to support the theoretical context and foundations of the research.

Spanish abstract

El presente estudio pretende demostrar la influencia significativa del método de casos como técnica y metodología válida en la enseñanza de los cursos impartidos en la Escuela de Bibliotecología y Ciencias de la Información. Se presentan como experiencia los resultados obtenidos con esta metodología en el curso de Administración de Unidades de Información. Se puede concluir que el método de casos es efectivo, pues no sólo mejora significativamente los resultados cuantitativos del aprendizaje, sino también, desde el punto de vista cualitativo, es una experiencia gratificante, pues se genera mayor comunicación con el estudiante, quien presenta una actitud más crítica, se involucra e interioriza los temas; y sobretodo es una metodología dinámica que permite un clima óptimo para el aprendizaje. Asimismo, se establece en el artículo una aproximación histórica, donde las definiciones y características fundamentales, los pasos a seguir para el desarrollo y el estudio de casos permiten la fundamentación teórica y la contextualización de la investigación.
