To achieve this goal, the analysis of scientific literature was carried out, which allowed to identify the possibilities, advantages and benefits of this method. The purpose of its application is also mentioned, as well as the examples of the cases classification. The article provides examples of training situations that can be the basis for the development of the cases. The examples of the cases given in the article are clearly structured, which allows us to see the possibility of using this method to control the competencies formation in such components of the teacher's work as the preparation and verification of tasks. Approaches to students’ evaluation of the cases solutions are proposed. The article is addressed to university professors.
