Don't Spoonfeed Your Students: Try An Ethically Novel Approach

Fri, March 14, 3:30 to 5:00pm, Sheraton Dallas Hotel, TBA

Abstract

The use of the scenario principle can improve the attitude of the students in ethics classes. A “scenario” presents information using characters performing activities in a specialized setting. Previous research indicates that applications of the scenario principle have enhanced student’s communication and interpersonal skills, stimulated students’ creativity, and enabled instructors to improve their teaching performance. Accounting educators who have used educational novels have reported improved student enthusiasm and learning performance. A novel previously used in basic accounting has been completely revised for the most recent updates in accounting theory and practice, the biggest change is the focus on accounting ethics. The new edition now includes several new ethical situations and an instructor guide for facilitating discussion of accounting ethics and professional codes of conduct.
