Bridging knowing and learning: a suggestion for accounting education

Reva Berman Brown

Accounting Education, 2003, vol. 12, issue 4, 393-403

Abstract: This teaching note describes an exercise which appears to prompt students to reflect on their learning. The exercise is based on five pairs of words concerned with knowing and learning: (1) learn/study, (2) educate/train, (3) know/understand, (4) teach/tutor, and (5) student/pupil. The exercise may appear trivial, even frivolous, but when successful, it can compel students to reflect, often for the first time, on the meaning and purpose of their educational experience. Frequently, students make explicit previously unarticulated views and feelings about the process and content of their educational programmes.
