Accounting for Taste: Learning by Doing in the College Classroom

Kathlyn Bradshaw and Robert Harvey

Abstract

This article presents Edelson and Reiser’s (2006) strategies as a framework for analyzing an instance of authentic practice in a managerial accounting course. Specifically, this article presents an analysis of a managerial accounting project design created to provide learning-by-doing via authentic practice. Students need more than to learn about a profession, such as accounting; they need to learn how to be a professional practitioner. The project design examined offers accounting students the opportunity for authentic learning practiced within a college classroom context: a small-scale manufacturing simulation which offers a real-world authentic learning experience to students.

Key words: learning-by-doing, authentic practice, managerial accounting, simulation

Conversation: Crossing Boundaries Between Formal and Informal E-learning (pp. 316-319)
Kathlyn Bradshaw, Algonquin College School of Business

Abstract: With the advent of Web 2.0, the internet became an environment where even those with limited technical knowledge could share information, ideas, and more. Learning opportunities via the internet range from formal credentialed courses offered by ivy-league universities, to informal how-to videos posted by individuals. This conversation session provides participants an opportunity to consider tensions between formal and informal e-learning within higher education teaching and learning. The conversation will begin with foundational information designed to offer an interpretation of tensions in e-learning. Participants will then explore formal and informal e-learning within their own disciplines, programs, and courses.
