Abstract

Case pedagogy remains one of the vital strategies to promote critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in nursing and midwifery education globally. In Namibia little research exists on the perspectives of nursing students on the use of a case pedagogy as a strategy to promote critical thinking in nursing and midwifery education. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the experiences of students on the use of case pedagogy as a strategy to promote critical thinking among nursing students. The study found that most students developed critical thinking skills and that they were equipped with problem solving skills which they can use for analysis and evaluations of their patients' conditions. Findings from this chapter may help identify strengths and weaknesses in the use of case pedagogy for assessment purposes in nursing and midwifery education.
