Title

A Sense For Where You Are: The Role Of Self-Insight For Effort And Performance By Accounting Students

Abstract

If education is a life-long process, one of the goals of any educational program should be to create an awareness of educational deficiencies to be addressed. However, little attention has been focused on the question of how much students are aware of their own educational progress. Self-insight is the extent to which students possess a realistic impression of their personal achievement of educational goals. Using an incentivized system of grade forecasting to measure student self-insight in management accounting classes at a major public University, this study shows how differing degrees of awareness contribute to achievement and to the degree to which effort is expended toward that objective. © 2013 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
