Educational case study method refers to the method of collecting effective and complete data through various methods and conducting in-depth and detailed research on a single object. Its task is to reveal the characteristics and laws of the formation and change of the research object, as well as various factors affecting the development and change of the case, and put forward corresponding countermeasures.

Generally speaking, the educational case study method can adopt specific case study methods such as tracking method, tracking method, clinical method and job analysis method according to the different research purposes, objects and contents.

Taking the tracing method as an example, its realization is generally divided into the following steps:

The first step is to determine the subject of follow-up research. Researchers should first make clear the object and purpose of follow-up research. As a teacher, in daily teaching and education, we should be good at finding students or cases with typical characteristics in one aspect as the object of follow-up research, and make clear what aspects we should know about students or events.

The second step is to carry out follow-up research. Follow-up research must be carried out closely around the content established by the subject, and relevant information should be collected through prescribed means, and important information should not be missed or confused by superficial phenomena. Follow-up research takes a long time, and researchers must persevere and not give up halfway.

The third step is to sort out and analyze the collected data. We should carefully sort out and analyze all kinds of case data collected, make reasonable judgments, and reveal the characteristics and laws of case development and change.

Finally, some suggestions are put forward to improve the case. According to the results of case tracking research, researchers should further put forward suggestions to improve the case, and guide and promote the development of the case.
