As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, a set of modifications were implemented in the way it was taught. Higher education institutions in Chile were not immune to this phenomenon, and to this scenario was added a set of trends that had already been raising the need to review didactics, in terms of what and how it is taught. Different initiatives led to the development and implementation of didactic strategies that sought to solve the challenges faced by the educational system. Even though innumerable articles referring to the implementation of these didactic innovations have appeared, the evidence regarding the impact of their adaptations remains scarce. The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of the use of the Case Method on the academic performance of the students of the calculus subject of the Business Administration Engineering degree at a Chilean higher education institution in an online context. through a difference-in-differences model using control groups generated with the Propensity Score Matching technique. The results show a positive and statistically significant effect on student grades.
