They then led group discussionsbased on those scenarios. He stated in his paper that once the initial shyness and reluctance ofsome cultures were overcome through the building of rapport in this exercise, his students wereable to develop their own scenarios and write their own scripts appropriate to ethical, social andcultural factors.

innovation, little research is doneon how workplace-problems are structured, so many PBL programs cannot adequately designproblems when designing curriculum and instruction. In his framework on designing problems inPBL curriculum, Hung [11,12] points out that it is crucial for the impact of the PBL enterprise toalign systematically - throughout the design process - the nature of the problem, the nature of theskills involved, the content material, the goals to achieve, and the strategies to be employed. Inaddition to the design of PBL curriculum, programs, which employ PBL, face a continuouschallenge to maintain their base of problems authentic and informed by the every-day practice ofpractitioners.

ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study is to research ways of improving the education of AfricanAmericans by significantly increasing the number of college graduates from Historically BlackCollege and Universities (HBCUs) using object-oriented software analysis and designmethodologies. HBCUs are institutions of higher learning, whose principal mission is to educateAfrican Americans. Based upon this objective, there are two significant questions to beaddressed by this research: a) Is it possible, through innovative measures, for the current set of HBCUs throughout the United States to educate African Americans on a massive scale? b) What is the best way to design the format and presentation of

Secondly,the innovations were implemented in two out of the nine chapters covered in this course, whichled to limited results and the inability to draw overarching conclusions. In future semesters,similar interventions will be carried out in other chapters.

This focused attention on research,innovation, and strategic planning for the future also highlights the ways in which highereducation can link professional trends and competitiveness to growth in the economy.

We have alsodemonstrated that in general, textbooks fall short in demanding critical thinking on the part oftheir student readers.We believe that the assessment tools that we present here are useful and innovative, but wealso acknowledge their limitations. For example, our homework assessments may not berepeatable. Would other instructors, using our same protocol, give the same analysis of what isacceptably correct? Indeed, the outcomes likely depend on the judgements of the evaluator.However, the assessment tool is likely to be effective for use by a given instructor.We also recognize that our assessment tool may

However, significant nationwide improvements have not beenachieved despite these isolated demonstrations of successful cases.Problem Driven Teaching (PDT) is closely related to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) which isthe educational process by which problem solving activities and instructor’s guidance facilitatelearning. PBL is a pathway by which students “learn how to learn”. It challenges students tothink critically, be pro-active, analyze problems, and find and use appropriate learning resources(Queens 2009).
