Exploration of the Case Study Teaching Method in Human Resource Management Courses

Abstract

Human resource management is a course that links theory with practice, which requires students to master a series of knowledge, including recruitment, performance appraisal, salary management, employee relations and so on, and to understand the connotation of these concepts. However, if students only grasp the meaning of these concepts, they can not necessarily apply them in the real work environment. For example, if a student can explain the connotation of recruitment, he may not be able to judge whether the interview process is reasonable. If a student can only remember the definition of performance appraisal, he may not be able to analyze the reasons for employees' dissatisfaction with the appraisal results. In the traditional classroom teaching, the teacher first explains the content of the knowledge, and the students listen to the lecture, take notes and review the content after class. Although this method can help students master the basic knowledge, it can not provide enough opportunities for students to solve practical problems. Case teaching can make up for this deficiency and bring specific situations into the classroom. Students read and analyze the case, put forward their own opinions, and put forward reasonable solutions. In order to make a deeper understanding of the case teaching method, this paper focuses on the analysis of human resource management courses, points out the problems existing in teaching practice, and puts forward suggestions for the improvement of case selection, teaching support and so on.
