Abstract

This study aims to explore university students’ perspectives through their experiences on the case methods learning in School-Based Management (SBM) courses. Using a narrative approach this study analyzed the experiences of 10 students who had attended SBM classes at a university in Central Java This research used in-depth interviews and were analyzed thematically. The results of the study show that the case method can improve students’ understanding of the concept of MBS, develop critical thinking and analytical skills, and increase student engagement in learning. Students remark that the case method in SBM courses enables them to apply theory in real-world circumstances, develop their problem-solving abilities, and hone their communication and teamwork skills. Challenges include difficulty in finding the right solution, limited information, and complexity of case analysis. To overcome this learning challenge, students use strategies such as group discussions, consultation with lecturers, and independent search for additional information. These findings suggest that the case method can effectively prepare students for real-world challenges and develop career-relevant skills in education. This study provides insights into case-based learning in enriching the student learning experience and encouraging innovation in teaching methods in higher education.
