“…to promote positive emotions, such as the feeling that the instructor respects the students as individuals and sees them as capable of performing well.'' Stated from a corollary perspective, Stout and Wygal (2010) surveyed award-winning accounting educators and report that an instructor's inability to develop and convey a student-centered approach is among the most significant factors that can impede student learning and effective teaching. The point to be made here is that there is a very real opportunity moving forward for accounting educators to employ VOH applications for many reasons.…”

“…Friendliness ranks third and the use of humor last. It can be argued that these align with Kerr and Smith's (2003) important attribute of showing genuine concern in students as persons, and Stout and Wygal's (2010) observation that accounting educators should avoid being negative or having uncaring attitudes about students and the class.…”

“…There are many schools of thought about what teacher attributes and behaviors are necessary to enhance students' learning. Stout and Wygal (2010) argue that there are certain teacher behaviors that can, in fact, be perceived as "counter-productive to student learning" (p. 59) and teacher traits and behaviors that ought to be avoided. They state that the literature has neglected teaching attributes that impede the learning process.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether ethnicity makes a difference to the level of respect given to teachers by tertiary accounting students. In particular, it examines whether ethnicity has an impact on students' perceptions regarding their teachers' attributes and behaviors, which in turn influences their respect for their teachers. Design/methodology/approach -First year accounting students, both domestic and international, were surveyed in New Zealand, Australia and the UK, using a purpose-designed online questionnaire. "Ethnicity" was categorized according to first language, resulting in three categories: Home, Chinese and Other International. Student responses to quantitative questions regarding attributes and behaviors were analyzed using MANOVA and ANOVA. Open-ended questions provided further insight into student perceptions. Findings -Regarding teachers' attributes, statistically significant differences are seen between the ethnic groups in qualifications, classroom control and professional qualifications or work experience, but not in teachers' behaviors. The open-ended questions provided student contributions regarding respect. These included "clarity" and "good English skills." Originality/value -This research contributes to debates over the impact of ethnic diversity in the classroom. It also contributes to the debate over the definition of the concept of "ethnicity." A comparison between three countries is unusual; all have significant numbers of international students. Value is added through the findings, which challenge often-held assumptions regarding stereotypical "Chinese learners." The findings will also assist teachers who have large numbers of international students in their classrooms.

“…Investigating the link between negative behavior of accounting academics and learning of student, Stout and Wygal (2010) collected the response from top ranked accounting academics; the results suggested that negative attitude, improper preparation, insufficient delivery skills, assessment mistakes and inflexible attitude of educators are the common barriers in the learning process of a classroom. Authorities and academics can improve the institute and classroom environment by avoiding such behaviors.…”
