| Abstract: | The paper compares the effectiveness of Project Discovery (PD) with the traditional accounting undergraduate program at the University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign (UIUC). PD is a comprehensive program of instruction designed to implement an "education for expertise" approach to accounting education. The data on instructional processes are analyzed, using Chi Square and ANCOVA analysis. Data on learning outcomes are analyzed using ANCOVAs that include the effects of instructional method, pre-accounting UIUC grade point average, and ACT comprehensive scores. The results suggest instructional process differences btw. PD and traditional programs and learning outcome and attitude differences btw. PD and traditional program graduates. |
