A major limitation in traditional classes in systems analysis and design is that students often are unable to "experience" the process in a real world setting. This limitation can be overcome by using the constructionist approach in a local environment that includes the students working in teams to develop a system design based on a real organization. This allows them to be involved in the process to "do" or "construct" knowledge as they work on the system design. This paper describes a case scenario that was developed based on the constructionist approach, to teach students object-oriented systems analysis and design (OOAD) using the Unified Process. A proof of concept evaluation was conducted and the results indicate that this approach is effective in OOAD pedagogy.

Nowadays, there are two main information systems modeling methods: structured and object-oriented. The structured methods have been widely used since the 1970s, whereas recently the object-oriented methods have attracted more attention. This chapter analyses the methods that are taught on the courses of information systems analysis and design. The curricula of information systems and computer science studies in Polish higher education institutions are compared to the Association for Computing Machinery curricula recommendations. In both cases none of the methods is prevailing. Also, the program of introducing, at the Warsaw School of Economics, Poland, all management and business administration students to the basics of systems analysis and design is presented. Thus, students majoring in information systems learn both modeling methods, whereas only structured methods are introduced to all management students.
