Abstract

If accounting students need holistic educational programmes that can contribute to society and cope with the fast changing business world.  This could involve encouraging active learning with ‘true to life’ case studies and group work, designing assessment items that encourage deep learning and ensuring that work overload does not take place. Due to our fast changing society, we must produce graduates who have learned how to learn and who are capable of continuously adapting themselves to help in the ongoing development of society. The purpose of this paper is to comment on students’ approaches to learning and how findings interact with what educators are trying to achieve particularly with respect to accounting education. By considering various factors and related issues and providing a clear and critical contribution to the quality that might be useful in teaching and learning of accounting education.
