Keywords

Accounting; Expert systems; Student control; Testing

Abstract

Several research innovations in accounting education illustrate the potential benefits of increased student control. Expert systems offer the potential to accomplish a transfer of control to students. Afield test of such an innovation revealed that student control could be enhanced without undesirable results. Students who were given the ability to control their study and their assessment were unable to inflate their grades beyond that which can be associated with increased effort. Students with more convenient access to the computer hardware necessary to run the expert system did not perform better. © 1993 Taylor & Francis.
