Approaches to Learning: Irish Students of Accounting

Abstract

Several reports on accounting education have identified the need to improve the quality of student learning. Higher education research identifies the approach to learning as a significant factor affecting the quality of learning. If accounting educators are to find ways of improving the educational experience of their students, they must understand how students learn and the effects of the learning environment on their learning approaches. This study examines the approaches to learning adopted by first year students enrolled on the BA in Accounting and Finance and the Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) at Dublin City University and assesses the impact of a number of variables in the learning environment on these learning approaches.
