Students majoring in Primary Education will become primary school teachers in the future. In addition to professional competence, primary school teachers must also possess pedagogical problem-solving skills to address real-life situations, thereby building positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues, and creating a friendly learning environment. The use of the case-based teaching method can enhance pedagogical problem-solving competence among Primary Education students. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of lecturers’ implementation of case-based teaching on the pedagogical problem-solving competence of students majoring in Primary Education. The experiment was conducted by the author, who applied the case-based teaching method in the education subject for the experimental group, while another lecturer at the university taught the same course using traditional teaching methods for the control group. A total of 110 first-year Primary Education students participated in the experiment. After the experiment, the mean scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the T-test results indicated a significant difference between the two groups. The findings suggest that the use of case-based teaching in instruction can improve the pedagogical problem-solving
