本文认为案例教学在西方经济学教学中起着重要的作用,可以增强经济学理论的现实感,提高学生的学习兴趣,并能提高学生的综合素质。但要处理案例教学的关系与教学目的的关系,同时教师要探索案例教学法,还要注意对学生的引导启发工作。 This paper argues that case teaching plays an important role in Western economics teaching, which can enhance the sense of reality of economic theory, improve students’ interest in learning and improve the overall quality of students. However, we should deal with the relationship between case teaching and teaching purposes, while teachers should explore the case teaching method, but also pay attention to the guidance of students inspired work.
