我国会计教育及会计教育研究的现状与对策

会计教育在会计学科建设中的地位已经得到会计学界的认可,而对会计教育进行深入研究的重要意义也日益显现。近几年来,我国会计学界对会计教育的研究取得丰硕成果。本文在简要说明我国会计教育面临的新环境的基础上,对我国会计教育存在的一些问题提出了解决的对策,并就近年来的会计教育研究的特点做了总结,也提出了加强会计教育研究的建议。     

The Case for Accounting Education Research

Pressures on the unit of resources within higher education are noted and the possible implications for assessment practice considered. There is a tension between low-cost and high-quality assessments, yet assessment appears to drive the students' agenda and requires careful thought if the programme design is to lead to high-quality learning outcomes. A theoretical framework is presented with the purpose of developing an assessment strategy which will enhance the quality of learning by the student. A case study of an introductory accounting module is described and issues of teaching, learning and assessment are explored. A message of hope is signalled; it may be possible to foster deep learning through assessments which engage the student actively with the subject, despite the apparent constraints acting upon academics.     

Accounting Education Lags CPE Ethics Requirements: Implications for the Profession and a Call to Action

Abstract

The accounting profession in the USA has experienced a crisis of legitimacy in the aftermath of a barrage of business scandals. Recent legislation has forced reforms reinforcing the need for additional ethics education. At the same time, the external pressure on university accounting degree programs has been to maintain the status quo of inadequate ethics in the curriculum, even while ethics courses in state CPE programs have grown dramatically. This creates a problem of bad pedagogy in that these new CPE ethics courses, focused on rote delivery of professional codes of conduct, are not grounded in conceptual frameworks which should be provided by university accounting programs. This state of affairs is circular in that it perpetuates inadequate ethics education for the profession. We propose that this deficiency be remedied by the requirement of a stand-alone ethics course delivered early in the accounting curriculum as a foundation for other degree requirements and subsequent CPE courses. The first step in this direction should be the creation of a White Paper that recommends specific content for such a course.     

新形势下的会计教育、研究和实务

新兴经济要求会计教育和科研工作做出相应的变革,以适应会计实务的需要。会计课程应该成为商学院教学的核心内容之一;会计教学、科研在与实务界建立新的、更紧密联系的同时,应该保持必要的独立性,关注并解决实际问题,扩大研究成果对实务工作的影响。学术界和教育部门对革新的推动有助于会计学术研究在资本市场发展中继续发挥关键和积极的作用。     

我国会计教育改革的设想

我国从1995年开始在教育部的组织和领导下就开始了会计类系列课程及其教学内容改革的研究,并就一些重大问题达成了共识,取得了一定的研究成果.但到目前为止,我国教育改革还是不尽人意,其中既有一定的客观原因,也有一定的主观原因.同我国经济转轨相类似,会计教育同样也存在着转轨的问题.分析了我国会计教育目前存在的主要问题,提出了改革会计教育的设想.
