Abstract
This research emphasises the vital role of diverse forms of feedback for enhancing student learning during work-integrated learning (WIL) activities. Through a case study involving second-year undergraduate accounting students at an Australian university, this paper explores how a WIL intervention facilitated feedback from multiple stakeholders, including self-assessment, peer evaluation, academic instructors, and industry experts. The findings reveal that incorporating diverse forms of feedback offers students a broader perspective on their performance and areas for improvement. This study highlights how integrating a range of feedback mechanisms into the curriculum can not only deepen students’ appreciation of the value of feedback but also enhance their capacity for self-reflection and continuous personal and professional growth. The paper contributes to educational practices by providing insights into how varied feedback sources can be leveraged to foster more effective learning outcomes, preparing students to be more adaptable and responsive to feedback in their future careers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Accounting Education (JAEd) is a refereed journal dedicated to promoting and publishing research on accounting education issues and to improving the quality of accounting education worldwide. The Journal provides a vehicle for making results of empirical studies available to educators and for exchanging ideas, instructional resources, and best practices that help improve accounting education. The Journal includes four sections: a Main Articles Section, a Teaching and Educational Notes Section, an Educational Case Section, and a Best Practices Section. Manuscripts published in the Main Articles Section generally present results of empirical studies, although non-empirical papers (such as policy-related or essay papers) are sometimes published in this section. Papers published in the Teaching and Educational Notes Section include short empirical pieces (e.g., replications) as well as instructional resources that are not properly categorized as cases, which are published in a separate Case Section. Note: as part of the Teaching Note accompany educational cases, authors must include implementation guidance (based on actual case usage) and evidence regarding the efficacy of the case vis-a-vis a listing of educational objectives associated with the case. To meet the efficacy requirement, authors must include direct assessment (e.g grades by case requirement/objective or pre-post tests). Although interesting and encouraged, student perceptions (surveys) are considered indirect assessment and do not meet the efficacy requirement. The case must have been used more than once in a course to avoid potential anomalies and to vet the case before submission. Authors may be asked to collect additional data, depending on course size/circumstances.
