Integrating computers into accounting education: a survey of Australian universities and colleges

Article Abstract:

Conflicts of ideas occur in the literature regarding the necessity and best approach in integrating computers into accounting courses in institutions of higher learning. This paper presents a report of a survey of the use of computer assisted learning in accounting curriculum in Australian universities and colleges, academics commitment to computer assisted learning and obstacles to further applications of computer assisted learning in accounting courses. The survey found that computer assisted learning has occurred mostly at an introductory level in the areas of worksheets and special purpose journals. Academics want to increase computer assisted learning in their accounting courses but are hindered by lack of financial resources, staff time, staff expertise and educationally suitable software.

A cross cultural study of the learning style of accounting students

Article Abstract:

This paper examines how individualism-collectivism, the core dimension of cultural variability, is reflected in the learning styles of accounting students in Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Australia represents the Western individualistic culture, and Hong Kong and Taiwan represent the Chinese collectivistic culture. Using Kolb's model this study shows that the learning styles of accounting students from Hong Kong and Taiwan are more abstract and reflective, as well as less concrete and active. Their Australian counterparts are more concrete and active, as well as less abstract and reflective. While the former exhibit the assimilation style, the latter represent the accommodation style.
