Poster: Studying Financial Accounting Curriculum in the Context of the UCO STLR Program
Conference Thread
An introduction to the roots of TL learning theory and contemporary conceptualizations of TL
We are engaging in an analysis of syllabi for upper level financial accounting courses to determine the congruency with the AICPA Examination Blueprints that govern the content of the CPA examination. We have noted little congruence, and we are proposing suggestions for making syllabi course objectives more action driven and specific.
This research project addresses several STLR tenets. First and foremost, it addresses research, creative, and scholarly activities. It deals with pedagogical topics that will be used to improve the educational process. We hope to develop at least one scholarly publication from this project. Second, it furthers discipline knowledge. The study of accounting is evolving; thus, it is necessary to adapt teaching methods to optimize education. By helping students become competent accountants and pass the CPA Examination, we are creating leaders in the profession (leadership).
We have both been enriched by working on this project with Dr. Walker and Dr Swanson and are inspired to be a part of the transformation process.in accounting education.
