The course-specific assignment utilizes an entrepreneurial scenario which requires students to examine the viability of opening a sandwich stand in the student union. Students actively gather cost data for their business venture by preparing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which are then donated to a local soup kitchen. Comparison of scores on pre- and post-tests suggests that the service learning assignment enhances students’ understanding of key managerial accounting concepts. More specifically, improvements in mean post-test scores proved significantly higher in the experimental group after completion of the service learning activity than in the control group. Feedback further suggests that students appreciated the opportunity to engage in service learning by helping others less fortunate and that the project encouraged them to think entrepreneurially.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting Education","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 100784"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49613500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the two experienced auditors discuss the scheme, they discuss the very real weaknesses in how auditors perform their tasks and how audit evidence can be manipulated and circumvented by capable and determined parties.

The contention is that the greater an individual’s “grittiness” the better their ability to work strenuously toward challenges and to maintain effort and interest over time, which results in success. Accounting courses are broadly considered to be difficult courses and a type where students’ grit would likely aid performance. We investigate whether grit is associated with academic performance in accounting courses, while controlling for learning strategies and motivation. Using survey data from multiple courses throughout the accounting curriculum, we find that grit is positively associated with both short-term and long-term academic performance, although the strength of association varies among the grit measures. Our results suggest instructors should consider grit as a trait positively associated with performance in accounting courses and highlights three popular measures available for assessing grit.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting Education","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 100779"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46120057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
