Targeted Infusion Project: A Problem-Based Learning Approach to Teach Gaming and Development of Gaming Instructional Modules to Enhance Student Learning in Lower Level Core C

该项目名为“以问题为基础的游戏教学方法和开发游戏教学模块以提高学生在较低水平核心课程中的学习”，其目标是采用基于问题的学习方法来教授游戏开发，重点是培养学生在游戏设计中的批判性思维，并开发游戏教学模块以提高学生在较低水平核心计算机科学课程中的学习。目标是：开发游戏教学模块；在计算机科学课程设置中加入基于游戏教学模块的问题解决活动，提高学生对理论概念的理解；为鲍伊州立大学（Bowie State University）——一所历史悠久的黑人大学——培养有竞争力的工程师和计算机科学家；评估和评价学生的理解能力；并通过期刊文章、会议和座谈会的形式传播项目成果。该项目的可交付成果将是一个游戏教学模块的存储库，可以集成到任何计算机科学课程中，对现有课程进行最小的修改。外展活动包括使用Facebook和YouTube等社交网站，这将提高公众对计算机科学领域的兴趣，并有助于从代表性不足的群体中招募学生从事STEM职业。受过培训和教育的学生将更有能力进入研究生院，并在不断发展的跨学科劳动力中就业。

The Targeted Infusion Project entitled - A Problem-Based Learning Approach to Teach Gaming and Development of Gaming Instructional Modules to Enhance Student Learning in Lower Level Core Courses - has the goal to implement a problem-based learning approach to teaching game development that focuses on developing critical thinking in game design and development of gaming instructional modules to enhance student learning in lower level core Computer Science courses. The objectives are: to develop gaming instructional modules; to enhance the Computer Science course curriculum with problem-solving activities based on gaming instructional educational modules to improve students' understanding of the theoretical concepts; to prepare competitive engineers and computer scientists at Bowie State University, a Historically Black University; to assess and evaluate student understanding; and to disseminate the project findings through journal articles, conferences and colloquia presentations.The deliverables of this project will be a repository of gaming instructional modules that could be integrated in any computer science curriculum with minimal modifications to existing courses. Outreach activities include the use of networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube, which will lead to increased public interest in the field of Computer Science and help to recruit students from underrepresented groups to pursue STEM careers. The students trained and educated will be better positioned for admittance to graduate school and employment in a constantly evolving interdisciplinary workforce.
