Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide an introduction to high-quality, practical, and evidence-based instructional resources from medical educators that can be adapted and adopted by accounting educators. The American Accounting Association (AAA) Pathways Commission Final Report set a goal of accounting becoming a learned profession by 2036. An AAA Presidential Scholar has advised that the achievement of this goal will require collaboration with other academic areas inside and beyond the business school. Responding to this call, this paper identifies a subset of Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Medical Education Guides that are relevant to accounting educators interested in problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), peer assisted learning (PAL) and reflection. Other opportunities for application of the medical resources to faculty responsibilities in teaching, research and service are shared to encourage accounting educators to learn from a well-established learned profession.
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.
