Accounting education literature review (1991–1997), part I: Curriculum and instructional approaches

Therefore, consistent with calls by Rebele et al (1998), the study describes specific changes made to the learning environment and reports on the observed effects of these changes.…”

Rebele et al (1998) They examined the general evaluation of the studies aimed at accounting curriculum. Bonner et al (2006) They examined which ones are the best accounting journals.…”
