Abstract

In this empirical paper, we discuss the factors impacting Accounting teachers’ effective implementation of assessment for learning (AfL) in the classroom and the action on the possible solutions in dealing with the impeding factors. AfL is considered a critical requirement for Accounting teachers and, if implemented effectively, improves the quality of learning. However, factors such as deficient subject and pedagogical content knowledge, inadequate assessment literacy and a lack of effective feedback have a significant impact on the effective implementation of AfL. Critical pedagogy framed the study theoretically and interrogated the factors impacting Accounting teachers in implementing AfL in the classroom and created an environment wherein teachers may share best practices relating to the administration of tasks. The qualitative research approach was utilised as a methodology, and Participatory Action Research was used as a research design. Thematic analysis was used to classify, analyse and interpret the data to get in-depth knowledge from the participants, who had to be in possession of a professional teaching qualification in Accounting and actively taught the subject in school for the past five years. The study findings indicate a need to develop and support teachers in implementing AfL to provide opportunities to identify learning gaps and devise scaffolding strategies to assist learners. Accounting teachers were equipped with the knowledge and skills to construct quality AfL tasks to assist the learners in acquiring the necessary expertise, skills and values in the subject.

Abstract

This paper aimed to determine the accounting lecturers’ teaching practices at a South African university. Teaching practices are a complex set of ways that lecturers use for instruction. When compromisingly crafted/implemented, they impact on success. In accounting education, teaching practices were found cognitively driven to determine success. Cognitivism learning theory guided the study. It emphasises mental processes, thinking, solving complex problems, and focusing on tasks requiring increased information processing, and procedural rules. The related elements enhance accounting teaching practices. This paper used a qualitative exploratory research methodology, enabling the researcher’s engagement with participants in their natural settings. Participants were purposefully selected for this study. Data was generated through individual semi-structured interviews to determine accounting lecturers’ practices. Issues including participants’ teaching practices and challenges experienced were explored. Data was thematically analysed. Findings suggest that current accounting teaching practices are detriment to performance. Hence this paper suggests that teaching practices require intervention.
