This teaching case was designed to enable discussion on the pros and cons of adopting student-centered methods of teaching, with particular emphasis on the case method. The target audience comprises teachers undertaking Master’s or doctoral degrees in teaching methodology and higher education didactics, as well as training and developmentextension courses for teachers. It presents the dilemma experienced by Cosmo, a young professor recently hired by the iesg (Institute of Higher Education in Management), who wishes to adopt the case method as a teaching practice within an institutional setting and with distinct and heterogeneous didactic experiences. It also presents the views of different stakeholders in the institution, discussing the challenge to accommodate its teaching strategy with its professionals’ individual and cultural daily practice. The case intends to foster reflection on the barriers and actions required for institutional case method adoption, seen from three of the organization’s levels: the faculty, the student body and the institutional structure as a whole.
