Advances in Accounting Education ─ Teaching and Curriculum

In this collection of 13 empirical and non-empirical articles, practitioners and researchers explain methods for how college and university faculty members can improve instruction in their accounting classrooms. The non-empirical papers discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs or policy issues, while the empirical reports include literature reviews. This volume of the annual publication contains five articles on the impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on accounting education, examining topics such as teaching IFRS with online videos and webcasts. Other chapter topics include assessment based on student learning outcomes and alternative pedagogies, integrating managerial accounting concepts into a chemistry course, role playing in an entity tax course, and exercise-based video podcasts as learning aids for introductory financial accounting students.
