“…Por su parte, los estudios de caso son visibles en el campo de la educación contable. Los casos están relacionados, por ejemplo, con incorporar habilidades interpersonales en el currículo de contabilidad (Daff, 2013), la formación de habilidades de investigación (McNellis, Premuroso, & Houmes, 2015), la enseñanza centrada en el estudiante (Wilkin, 2014;Kirstein & Kunz, 2015), la formación en fenómenos específicos como la contabilidad de arrendamientos (Churyk , Reinstein, & Smith, 2016) o una serie de casos cortos que sirven para apoyar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje (Alford, Di-Mattia, Hill, & Stevens, 2011). También se encuentran trabajos que mezclan el método de caso con la investigación acción, para trabajar en clases que tienen muchos estudiantes (Doran, Healy, Mc-Cutcheon, & O'Callaghan, 2011) y lo proponen como referente para la formación de nuevas generaciones de profesionales contables (Curtis, 2017).…”

El objetivo de este capítulo es proponer lineamientos para investigaciones contables futuras que les permita a los investigadores colombianos publicar en revistas internacionales indexadas en Scopus. Para esto, se abordaron tres subcampos de la contabilidad: la auditoría, la educación contable y la tributación. En ellos se identificó el estado actual de las discusiones, las preguntas de investigación que continúan abiertas, las características de los trabajos que se publican, los enfoques, los métodos utilizados y las oportunidades para investigaciones realizadas en economías emergentes. Además de proponer estudios en estos tres campos, en este texto se presentan fuentes en las que se pueden encontrar mayores detalles temáticos y metodológicos para cada campo como también posibilidades de publicación.

“…By advocating an assortment of learning strategies such as co-operative learning, reflective analysis, interpersonal skills and critical thinking (Cobb & Bowers, 1999), problem-based learning promotes theoretical and practical understanding, and constructs new knowledge (Kurzel & Rath, 2007;Wilkin, 2014). In a study whereby Vietnamese high school students participated in problem-solving games, S.…”

“…Using a case study detailing how problem-based learning was implemented in a final-year Accountancy Capstone unit in an Australian university, Stanley and Marsden (2012) also showed that students perceived problem-based learning to be effective, especially in terms of developing questioning, teamwork, and problem solving skills. Additionally, problem-based learning tasks can also be integrated into Accounting information system (AIS) curriculum to improve academic performance (Wilkin, 2014). Finally, it is appropriate for novice learners as it fosters transferable skills through the application of learning in new contexts or on new tasks (Bergstrom, Pugh, Phillips, & Machlev, 2016).…”

“…David Gilbertson suggested flexible alternatives for Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) into the curriculum to allow teachers to more effectively include audit regulation in the classroom and achieve a high level of student comprehension and learning on the topic [5]. Carla L. Wilkin reported successful results from a case study of a student-centered, research-led, and problem-based learning task that was incorporated into the curriculum of an Accounting Information Systems subject [6]. However, with the late start of e-commerce study in China, several problems exist, such as the less number of professional talents involved in e-commerce in various disciplines, old curriculum content, unreasonable curriculum arrangement, single teaching modes, methods, and means, and poor teaching links [7].…”

This paper proposes an application of distance learning for an e-commerce curriculum. First, this paper forwards the implication of distance learning system and its superiority, and further the system based on the SNS social interaction mode to address the limitations of existing distance learning systems by the advantages of the SNS social interaction mode. Second, the distance learning system is applied for an e-commerce curriculum. In accordance with the requirements of an e-commerce curriculum, the distance learning system and user frameworks are designed. The experiment adopts multiple evaluation indexes, and then utilizes the linear regression evaluation methodology for result assessment. Result shows that students in the experimental group under the distance learning system teaching mode are superior to students in the control group in terms of various indexes and comprehensive evaluation.
