The dispositions displayed are Confident in own ability to reason, Inquisitive, and Open-minded about divergent world views. This study used an integrated set of interventions grounded in the scholarship of learning and teaching. It provides evidence about how to support students to demonstrate critical thinking skills while studying accounting at university.

ABSTRACT Research on formative assessment in accounting education examines the learning outcomes stemming from e-assessment or formative assessment within a stand-alone subject, but few studies examine the benefits and implications of continuous formative assessment or the perceptions of students who undertake formative assessment. The findings of continuous formative assessment introduced in a subject on intermediate financial accounting suggest that students benefit incrementally from multiple attempts at the formative assessment with optimal performance achieved at 7 attempts from a total of 10 opportunities. However, students also highlighted that the additional workload to participate in continuous formative assessment presented a major participatory constraint. The results of this study are consistent with the proposition that formative assessment improves students’ academic performance, but student perceptions on the benefits of formative assessment differ, particularly students with prior accounting knowledge and international students who appeared more receptive to formative assessment and feedback compared with domestic students.

This paper describes the design of a blended learning intervention to enhance the student learning experience, incorporating innovative technologies and pedagogies within introductory accounting. The design-based research (DBR) methodology involved 68 learners in the participatory design of the intervention across three design iterations. Emerging from the design process, a framework informed by the key themes of Pedagogy, Autonomy, Collaboration, Engagement, Interaction and Technology (PACE-IT) was conceptualised, tested and developed. This study presents the PACE-IT model which offers guidelines to practitioners who seek to design blended learning to provide students with a rich and meaningful learning experience. The emergence of COVID-19 underscores the relevance of these findings. PACE-IT provides direction to accounting educators working within an unfamiliar educational context, today and in the future, where there is an imperative to develop new approaches to accounting education that combine face-to-face with online interaction and learning. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
本文描述了一种混合学习干预的设计,以增强学生的学习体验,将创新技术和教学法纳入入门会计。基于设计的研究(DBR)方法涉及68名学习者,在三次设计迭代中参与干预的参与设计。在设计过程中,一个以教育学、自主性、协作、参与、互动和技术(PACE-IT)为关键主题的框架被概念化、测试和开发。本研究提出了PACE-IT模型,该模型为寻求设计混合学习的从业者提供了指导,为学生提供丰富而有意义的学习体验。新冠肺炎的出现突出了这些发现的相关性。PACE-IT为当今和未来在陌生的教育环境中工作的会计教育工作者提供了指导,在这种环境中,必须开发将面对面与在线互动和学习相结合的新会计教育方法。©2022 Informa UK Limited,交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

ABSTRACT This study measures the levels of self-efficacy beliefs to determine how this correlates with academic success in introductory tertiary accounting within a South African context. Also, self-efficacy beliefs are compared to determine if significant differences exist based on gender, academic language, type of study funding and different professional programmes studied. The study applies social cognitive theory and gathers quantitative data using questionnaires with statistical analysis to determine self-efficacy belief levels in a first-year accounting module. The means of several variables were compared via t-tests or ANOVAs. Hereafter, regression analysis was applied to determine if self-efficacy beliefs significantly impact academic performance. Findings indicate that most first-year accounting students felt confident in their self-efficacy beliefs. Significant differences were observed in students’ self-efficacy beliefs based on gender, academic language and type of programme studied, but not based on type of study funding. Several self-efficacy beliefs correlated significantly with academic performance, though differences were observed for different types of programmes. As limited consideration of the impact of self-efficacy beliefs within the discipline of accounting prevails in the literature, and even less so in South Africa, the study serves to enhance accounting educators’ understanding on how self-efficacy beliefs impact academic performance at the first-year level.

ABSTRACT New technologies shape the market by requiring hybrid skills for accounting professionals. Serious games may help to prepare students by cultivating these skills. However, an improper game application may disrupt students’ skill development. A guide is necessary to avoid a disruptive scenario by making serious games a proper teaching methodology to ensure desired learning outcomes. Thus, this research aims to structure a valid holistic framework by integrating game-based learning, the theory of planned behavior, and experiential learning theory to potentialize the benefits of games and minimize their risks. The objective was achieved by designing a framework proposal and validating it with arguments from modern validation theory. This research shows the benefits of serious games and contributes to the accounting education field by adding a new validated framework that guides educators to explore the development of students’ hybrid skills.

Measuring accounting educators’ views on the teaching–research nexus (TRN): an international comparative study 衡量会计教育者对教研关系的看法:一项国际比较研究

ABSTRACT The relationship between teaching and research in the modern university has been the subject of vigorous scholarly enquiry in the education literature for several decades. Few international comparative studies are reported in the literature. This study compares and discusses the teaching–research nexus (TRN) in accounting in three international regions: the UK and Ireland (UKI); Australia and New Zealand (ANZ); and South Africa (SA). The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of that the TRN empirical model operates in the different regions, and more so to describe the TRN that remains challenging for the accounting academic profession globally. Positive synergies from the TRN are evident in all jurisdictions in this study but are largely ignored by academic institutions and professional accounting bodies (PABs) that influence the university accounting curriculum. Formal government research assessment measures, coupled by PABs pressures, result in accounting becoming more a teaching-led rather than research-informed academic discipline. This has implications for: the status of accounting academics; the public perception of the professional standing of accounting in society; and the learning experiences of accounting students.
几十年来,现代大学的教学与科研关系一直是教育文献中热烈探讨的主题。文献中很少有国际比较研究的报道。本研究比较和讨论了三个国际地区:英国和爱尔兰(UKI)的会计教研关系(TRN);澳大利亚和新西兰(ANZ);和南非(SA)。本研究的目的是提供TRN实证模型在不同地区运作的证据,更重要的是描述全球会计学术专业仍然具有挑战性的TRN。在本研究中,TRN的积极协同效应在所有司法管辖区都很明显,但在很大程度上被影响大学会计课程的学术机构和专业会计团体(pab)所忽视。正式的政府研究评估措施,加上pab的压力,导致会计更多地成为一门以教学为主导的学科,而不是以研究为基础的学科。这对以下方面有影响:会计学者的地位;社会公众对会计专业地位的认知;以及会计专业学生的学习心得。

ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of student engagement and rapidity of completing exams on student performance before and during the first wave of COVID-19 in March 2020, examining the effect of the shift from face-to-face to online teaching and exams in a Master’s in Business Administration degree at a university in Italy. Prior literature mainly finds that student marks benefit from student engagement, but it has been unclear how COVID-19 affected this link. We find that COVID-19 reduced this benefit in the short term. Prior literature also finds that student performance benefits from passing the exam at the earliest opportunity but the effect of COVID-19-related changes on this remains unclear. We find that the link between higher exam marks and rapidity of completing exams was strengthened by COVID-19. The research contributes to the debate on costs and benefits of COVID-19 on accounting education quality. It confirms that there are disadvantages, in terms of the lower efficacy of student engagement, and advantages, in terms of higher marks from more rapid academic progress.
摘要本研究调查了在2020年3月新冠肺炎第一波疫情之前和期间,学生参与度和完成考试的速度对学生成绩的影响,考察了意大利一所大学工商管理硕士学位从面对面教学和考试转为在线教学和考试的影响。先前的文献主要发现学生成绩受益于学生参与,但尚不清楚新冠肺炎如何影响这一联系。我们发现新冠肺炎在短期内降低了这一收益。先前的文献也发现,学生的表现得益于尽早通过考试,但与新冠肺炎相关的变化对此的影响仍不清楚。我们发现,新冠肺炎加强了更高的考试分数与完成考试的速度之间的联系。该研究有助于就新冠肺炎对会计教育质量的成本和收益展开辩论。它证实了在学生参与的效率较低方面存在缺点,而在学术进步较快的情况下获得较高分数方面存在优点。

ABSTRACT This study explores the extent to which a unique and disruptive experience (a field trip to a prison) combined with reflective writing resulted in transformative learning by students enrolled in an accounting ethics course. Students were provided with clearly defined steps (‘prompts’) designed to encourage them to think logically and to reflect upon their experience, with student narratives collected before, and following the field trip. Analysis of these narratives reveals evidence of transformative learning in that students articulated not just the content of learning but changes in their perspectives of accounting practice, white-collar offenders and what it should mean to be a professional accountant.
摘要本研究探讨了一种独特的、颠覆性的体验(监狱实地考察)与反思性写作相结合,在多大程度上导致了会计道德课程学生的变革性学习。向学生提供了明确定义的步骤(“提示”),旨在鼓励他们进行逻辑思考和反思自己的经历,并在实地考察之前和之后收集了学生的叙述。对这些叙述的分析揭示了变革性学习的证据,因为学生们不仅阐述了学习的内容,还阐述了他们对会计实践、白领罪犯以及成为专业会计师应该意味着什么的看法的变化。

ABSTRACT The extended social cognitive career theory (SCCT) suggests that career intentions are influenced by person inputs, background contextual affordances, learning experiences, self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations, as well as satisfaction and well-being in academic and work settings. The main purpose of the current study was to examine the career intentions of South African high school learners towards a career in the accounting field. Using proportionate stratified random sampling, 305 learners from eight high schools in a rural community were surveyed. Respondents’ intentions to pursue a career in accounting were significantly positively correlated with self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations. Work satisfaction, earning potential, self-efficacy expectations, personal interest, Accounting being offered as a subject and having a family member in the accounting field are factors influencing participants’ career choice.

ABSTRACT This study introduces data mining methods to accounting education scholarship to explore the relationship between accounting students’ current academic performance (grades), demographic information, pre-university entrance scores and predicted academic performance. It adopts a C4.5 classification algorithm based on decision-tree analysis to examine 640 accounting students enrolled in an undergraduate accounting program at an Australian university. A significant contribution of this study is improved prediction of academic performance and identification of characteristics of students deemed to be at risk. By partitioning students into sub-groups based on tertiary entrance scores and employing clustering of study units, this study facilitates a more nuanced understanding of predictor attributes. Key findings were the dominance of a cluster of second year units in predicting students’ later academic performance; that gender did not influence performance; and that performance in first year at university, rather than secondary school grades, was the most important predictor of subsequent academic performance.
摘要本研究将数据挖掘方法引入会计教育奖学金,探讨会计专业学生的当前学习成绩(成绩)、人口统计信息、大学入学前成绩与预测学习成绩之间的关系。采用基于决策树分析的C4.5分类算法,对澳大利亚某大学会计学本科专业的640名会计专业学生进行了调查。本研究的一个重要贡献是改进了对学业成绩的预测和对被认为有风险的学生特征的识别。通过根据大学入学分数将学生划分为子组,并采用学习单元聚类,本研究有助于对预测因子属性进行更细致的理解。主要发现是:二年级的一组单元在预测学生以后的学业表现方面占主导地位;性别对表现没有影响;大学第一年的表现,而不是中学的成绩,是预测学生以后学业表现的最重要因素。
