Abstract

This paper takes up the increasingly contentious subject of how teachers know and assess what students at third level have learned and know; and, it does so from two perspectives. It presents a case study of a teacher educator’s efforts to uncover student learning through simple classroom assessment techniques; and it documents in detail the efforts of one third-level teacher to monitor and assess student learning through self-study using the one-minute essay assessment strategy. Results reveal one important hypothesis: that self-study and assessment innovation help to make accounting education research an integral part of teaching practice.
