Abstract

Case teaching is one of the main forms for implementing the concept of OBE (Outcome-Based Education) in management majors. Based on the relevant research conclusions of other experts and scholars, this paper constructs a model of the influencing mechanism and factors of case teaching under the concept of OBE using AMOS software, and conducts an empirical analysis with students of management majors in applied universities as the survey subjects. The results indicate that under the current teaching system, the simulation adaptability of cases, i.e., the quality of selecting and organizing case content, is the most important factor affecting the effectiveness of case teaching in management majors of such universities. The willingness and attitude towards case study have a relatively minor impact on learning outcomes, suggesting that students still lack initiative in case studies. The organizational guidance of the case teaching process has no significant impact on the effectiveness of case studies but can influence student evaluations of the teaching process.
