Passive Learning

This study examines whether cooperative learning can improve the learning outcomes of students in a passive learning environment. One hundred seventy-two accounting students who were attending a major Hong Kong university participated in this study. Using a 2 × 2 between-subjects experimental design, this study finds that students who were taught using a cooperative learning approach significantly outperformed those who were taught using a traditional lecture format. Moreover, the results of this study indicate that the students in cooperative learning sessions performed significantly better in answering indirect application-type questions than those in traditional lecture sessions. Overall, the results of this experiment suggest that cooperative learning is an effective teaching pedagogy for delivering accounting topics in a passive learning environment. The implications of this study for accounting education and the directions for future research are also discussed.

The Impact

ABSTRACT Accounting educators have long been interested in the effects of cognitive style on student performance. Research suggests that students' cognitive styles can moderate their success across a variety of assessment methods (i.e., multiple-choice versus written reports versus case study) (Au 1997) and instructional methodologies (Ott et al. 1990). Not clear, however, is the impact of cognitive style on a student's accounting task performance. Several studies have examined the relationship between accounting students' cognitive styles and their performance on accounting tasks, but the results have been mixed (Jones and Davidson 2007; Togo 1993; Arunachalam et al. 1997; Swanson et al. 2005). Using Chan's (1996) theory of cognitive misfit, this study proposes that diminished performance will occur when there is incongruence between a student's cognitive style and the cognitive demands of an accounting task. The Felder-Solomon Index of Learning Styles was used to classify students' cognitive styles as global or sequential. In an experiment involving 138 students, the effects of cognitive misfit negatively impacted performance on a managerial accounting task, and the effect was most pronounced for students with global styles. The current study improves our understanding of cognitive factors that impact students' accounting task performance.

Abstract The quality of learning is not only limited to the effectiveness of knowledge transfer, but also on the development of basic attitudes, such as critical scientific academic attitudes and continual willingness to seek the truth. In this case, educators are required not only to transfer of knowledge, but more than that also acts as an enlightenment agent. Therefore, this study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the influence of application of case-based cooperative learning methods to the learning effectiveness of the accounting students on Maranatha Christian University.The technique used to test the hypothesis is Simple Linear Regression Analysis, which used to know the influence of the application of case-based cooperative learning method to the effectiveness of student learning. Respondents in this study are accounting students of Maranatha Christian University.The result of this study shows that case-based cooperative learning method positively affects the learning effectiveness of the accounting students on Maranatha Christian University. Keywords: Case-Based Cooperative Learning Method, Learning Effectiveness.

This research aims to know the influence of the application of a method of teacher centered learning cooperative learning and E-learning againt understanding a student on the learning accounting. The variables examined in this study is teacher centered learning, cooperative learning and understanding a student. This study used a quantitative approach with the collection of data technique using the questionnaire. Sample is all the accounting students semester 6 and 8 had embarked on a course called accounting as many as 200 students .The method of analysis data used in this research was multiple linear regression. Based on the research and discussion done, can be summed up and can be concluded  The application of teacher centered learning cooperative learning and E-learning to depend on the understanding a student on the learning accounting partial and simultaneous

Experiential Content

This article introduces the notion of pleasant musical imagery (PMI) for denoting everyday phenomena where people want to cherish music “in their heads.” This account differs from current paradigms for studying musical imagery in that it is not based a priori on (in)voluntariness of the experience. An empirical investigation of the structure and experiential content in 50 persons’ experiences of PMI applied the elicitation interview method. Peer judgments of the interviews helped to bridge a phenomenological investigation of particular experiences with systematic between-subjects analysis. Both structural features of the imagery (e.g., Looseness of structure or Looping) and content features of the imagery (e.g., Embodied evocativeness and Object-directedness) showed significant associations with participants’ individual characteristics, personality, and/or cognitive style. The approach taken suggests a new paradigm for studying musical imagery—one that is based on tracing the interactional and enactive processes of “inner listening.”

Field Dependent

Since prior studies of individuals' perceptions of career-choice factors have not considered the effect of cognitive styles of subjects, this study, using 68 accounting students, investigated the mediating effects of the field dependent-independent cognitive dimension on perceptions of the importance of career-choice factors. The results, in general, show that cognitive style affected individuals' perceptions of career-choice factors, suggesting that future studies of individuals' perceptions should take into account individual cognitive differences.
