Abstract Morley presents a research paper on a qualitative study of 15 groups of authors who were submitting chapters to an edited open-access collection, “Applied pedagogy for higher education. Real world learning and innovation across the curriculum”. Through the method of concept mapping, authors discuss their views and experience of “real world learning”. The concept of real world learning is an emerging area in higher education where students are focusing not only on their present learning but on how they can develop attributes and identities that equip them to progress following graduation. A thematic analysis of the author focus groups identifies three themes of fidelity, individuality and mutuality. A discussion of the themes applies the authors’ experience of real world curriculum planning and pedagogy in higher education.

This study contributes to both accounting and concept mapping literature through the depiction of a concept tree based on the Accounting Theory curriculum, which has undergone recent and rapid expansion of its knowledge and has hence outgrown the previous limited mapping work. This tree-shaped concept map not only accounts for a particular mapping approach little studied and scarcely exemplified in literature, but also signifies a creative model that graphically interprets the sophisticated system of accounting theories and concepts as well as their complex interrelationships. In teaching practices, this concept tree has attested a potential to promote curriculum development, as evidenced in sequence and cohesion of topics and by being linked meaningfully to exam design.

Concept Mapping ist eine Lernstrategie, die insbesondere das bedeutungsvolle Lernen unterstützt. Ziel dieser Studie war es, den Nutzen von kognitiven und/oder metakognitiven Prompts auf den Lernerfolg beim Lernen durch Concept Mapping zu untersuchen. Die teilnehmenden Schülerinnen und Schüler (N = 112, Durchschnittsalter: 17.20 Jahre) erzielten einen signifikant besseren Lernerfolg, wenn sie durch Prompts beim Anfertigen einer Concept Map unterstützt wurden. Gemischte Prompts waren dabei im Vergleich zu nur kognitiven bzw. nur metakognitiven Prompts nicht effektiver, offensichtlich regte bereits die Verfügbarkeit von Prompts die Lernenden zu systematischerem Lernverhalten an. Als Fazit dieser Studie lässt sich festhalten, dass Prompts als Hilfestellung bei der Anwendung einer neuen Lerntechnik sehr wohl positive Effekte haben. Eine Follow-Up-Messung ohne Prompts zeigte jedoch, dass die einmalige Unterstützung durch Prompts nicht ausreichte, um die Lerntechnik weiterhin selbstständig erfolgreich anzuwenden.
