German term or phrase: Kollegialen Fallberatung
"Kollegialen Fallberatung" used in the context of a training seminar. One participant presents a case study that is then "peer-assessed" by the group. I 've seen the use of "peer intervision" in translation but I don't think this is correct.

case discussion method
Explanation:
The case method should more appropriately be called the 'case discussion method' as discussion in a group of co-learners is an integral part of the method. This involves the following steps:

· study of a case by an individual learner, analysis of the case, and development of a strategy and action plan from the point of view of the decision-maker in the case;

· discussion in a small group (6-10 individuals) of the individual learner's analysis and proposals, and consequent revisions, if needed;

· discussion in a plenary session (up to 80 to 100 individuals) with the help of a discussion leader (resource person/faculty member); and

· post-plenary session discussion with co-learners and discussion leader to consolidate the learning, if necessary.

Study and analysis of a case by an individual manager would bring to bear only that individual's knowledge, skill, experiences and attitudes in resolving the problems faced by the manager in the case situation. Discussion in small groups or a class by several managers, with their respective backgrounds, knowledge, skills and attitudes and values, has the potential to enlarge the perspective of each individual. Discussion is supposed to take place in a democratic spirit, where each participant is free to present their analysis and the rest of the class or group tries to assimilate and understand it. Co-learners try to see the similarities and differences in such presentations. On the basis of strong logic, and not brute force of lung power, the issues are analysed and final assessments made. Thus, through discussion in small groups and class, an individual would:

· acquire new knowledge, and learn about skills and attitudes possessed by others,
· reflect on the applicability of their own knowledge, skills and attitudes or values, and
· learn the art of listening to others, convincing others and social interaction in a group setting.
