Research Title: Preservice Teachers' Learning Experience From Case-Based Instruction In A Technology Integration Cases

Summary: 
The main purpose of this research study is to understand preservice teachers' perception of case-based project and their learning experience in case-based instruction. There are some preliminary findings in this study as well as implications for future studies on the emphasis of developing preservice teaches' problem-solving and decision-making competencies.

Questions I would like to ask:

1. What is your role and intention in this research study? Are you in a role as an instructor who wants to find out whether your case-based instructional approach is effective or as a researcher who is looking for what is going on in this case?

2. How did you develop your theoretical or conceptual framework? How did you frame or structure the concept of case-based learning and case-based reasoning in your research study?

Feedback:

• I think if there's a big picture with clear description of case-based learning, case-based reasoning, and case libraries at the beginning of your paper, that would really help your readers to have a good understanding of what you are aiming at and have distinctions among those terms.  
• In the literature review, I think you have a pretty good explanation on the term "case-base instruction" and "case-based reasoning", but probably you can also have a paragraph talking about how the elements (case-base learning, case-based reasoning, scaffolding, from novice to expert) interact or relate that informs the importance of what you're looking for in this study. 
• Provide a thorough research context and the method you used, and why. Probably you can also include the timeline you put on the AECT poster in your data collection part. Sometimes visual representations helps readers understand easily.
• You can have appendices with your interview questions and field notes for readers who wants more information for your data collection and data analysis. 
• Between your results and implications, you could have a discussion or conclusion section to recapture the importance of your research study as well as the meaning of your research results. Try to see whether your research results resonate the literature. 
• Add the limitation of this study.
