Download or read book Approaches to Learning and Ethical Judgment of Business Ethics Students written by Zaza Eliza binti Mohd. Redza and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is threefold. The first and second objectives are to explore the approaches to learning the Business Ethics course adopted by students and to examine the relationship between learning approaches and academic performance in respect of the Business Ethics course. The third objective is to examine the factors that affect the ethical judgment of the students. A questionnaire survey was administered to 209 students taking a Business Ethics course in a higher learning institution in Malaysia. The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) was used to assess the learning approaches adopted by students, whilst the study used the Business Ethics Final Examination result to measure the academic performance of the students. Ethical vignettes obtained from Emerson and Conroy (2004) were used to capture how students evaluate the ethical behaviour depicted in the vignettes. For the first objective, the results indicate that the majority of students, both male and female groups, prefer to use a deep approach in studying Business Ethics and there is no significant difference in the approaches to learning adopted between male and female groups. For the second objective, the findings reveal that there were significant positive relationships between the deep and strategic approaches and the final examination, while a significant negative relationship was found between the surface approach and the final examination result. For the third objective, it was found that Business Ethics result and year of study were factors that have a significant effect on the ethical judgment of students. In terms of theoretical implications, this study contributes to the literature on approaches to learning by using ASSIST, as, to date, not many studies use ASSIST to measure the approaches of students to learning. In terms of practical implications, this study may provide guidance to educators to adopt effective teaching strategies to improve student learning by encouraging the right approaches to learning in order to improve the academic performance of students. This study may also assist accounting practitioners and future employers in recruiting prospective employees, as factors, such as Business Ethics result and year of study have a significant impact on the ethical judgment of students. Employers may want to emphasis these two factors in the process of hiring future employees to ensure that the employees they employ have an appropriate level of moral reasoning and ethical behaviour.

Download or read book Teaching Business Ethics for Effective Learning written by Ronald R. Sims and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to teaching business ethics successfully, says Sims, is to start with clear goals and a sensible expectation of outcomes, and with a true knowledge and appreciation of how people actually learn. Seems obvious enough, he says, but the surprise is that so few understand this. Thus, the teaching of business ethics is often an unproductive, frustrating exercise in futility. Sims hopes to change that. Proceeding with the conviction that open communications between teacher and student before, during, and after the teaching experience is vital, Sims identifies key teaching processes, gives practical advice on designing and planning the curriculum, and offers guidance on how to develop a climate conducive to effective learning. He highlights the importance of creating a classroom climate that encourages open dialogue, good moral conversation, and conversational learning. And throughout he emphasizes that learning styles and experiential learning theory are cornerstones of teaching business ethics, thus taking an approach unlike any in the literature. An important guide for those who are new to teaching this essential subject, Sims' book will also be helpful for more experienced teachers who are wondering why their own methods do not always work, or do not work as well as they believe they should. Sims identifies important processes that must be managed if business ethics is to be taught and learned successfully—processes such as creating stakeholder commitment to the goals, purposes, and outcomes of the teaching effort, and curriculum design and planning that are attuned to individual differences in learning styles, motivation, and values. Also included in Sims' processes are the development of individual school outcomes, and expectations, and the assessment procedures that can measure them. He discusses the importance of incorporating debriefing into an experiential learning exercise or discussion, and goes on to give an in-depth discussion of the pedagogical approaches that allow teachers to teach the practical and theoretical components of the subject simultaneously. Well illustrated with examples, such as an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and a way to institutionalize outcomes assessment by means of total quality management, Sims' book returns constantly to his major theme: that to teach business ethics effectively the teacher must first create a climate of trust and sharing within and between students, and between students and teacher, and that the teacher must have a concrete way to measure the impact of the teaching effort's results.

Download or read book Ethics Across the Curriculum Pedagogical Perspectives written by Elaine E. Englehardt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features articles by more than twenty experienced teachers of ethics who are committed to the idea that ethics can and should be taught virtually anywhere in the education curriculum. They explore a variety of ways in which this might best be done. Traditionally confined largely to programs in philosophy and religion, the teaching of ethics has in recent decades spread across the curriculum education. The contributors to this book discuss the rationale for supporting such efforts, the variety of challenges these efforts face, and the sorts of benefits faculty and students who participate in ethics across the curriculum endeavors can expect. An overriding theme of this book is that the teaching of ethics should not be restricted to one or two courses in philosophy or religion programs, but rather be addressed wherever relevant anywhere in the curriculum. For example, accredited engineering programs are expected to ensure that their students are introduced to the ethical dimensions of engineering. This can involve consideration of ethical issues within particular areas of engineering (e.g., civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical) as distinctive segments of certain courses (e.g., those that focus on design problems), or as a full semester course in ethics in engineering. Similar approaches can be taken in nursing, medicine, law, social work, psychology, accountancy, management, and so on. That is, some emphasis on ethics can be expected to be found in broad range of academic disciplines. However, many ethical issues require careful attention from the perspectives of several disciplines at once, and in ways that require their joining hands. Recognizing that adequately addressing many ethical issues may require the inclusion of perspectives from a variety of disciplines makes apparent the need for effective communication and reflection across disciplines, not simply within them. This, in turn, suggests that faculty and their students can benefit from special programs that are designed to include participants from a variety of disciplines. Such programs will be a central feature of this book. Although some differences might arise in how such issues might best be discussed across different parts of the curriculum, these discussions might be joined in ways that help students, faculty, administrators, and the wider public better appreciate their shared ethical ground.

Download or read book Toward Assessing Business Ethics Education written by Diane L. Swanson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward Assessing Business Ethics Education, edited by Diane L. Swanson and Dann G. Fisher of Kansas State University, is a sequel to their book Advancing Business Ethics Education in the Ethics in Practice IAP book series. The focus on assessment in this second book is a timely response to the urgent search among business schools for ways to teach and assess ethics at a time when the public’s faith in corporations and business schools has been undermined greatly by the failure of both to respond to widespread corruption and scandals in the business sector. Although no one expects business education alone to resolve these problems, the distinguished scholars represented in this book advocate that business schools should at least do their part by exposing their students to decision models that incorporate ethical dimensions on behalf of corporate stakeholders and society at large. As the book’s title conveys, it is then important to assess key learning objectives to insure that business students graduate knowing ethics fundamentals and armed with the ability to recognize ethical dilemmas and possible solutions during the course of their careers. This book will speak to all who are interested in accountability for business ethics education, especially business school deans, university administrators, faculty members, students, and prospective employers. This audience will find that the enterprise of assessing business ethics education is advanced in three ways. First, the book functions as a venue for distinguished scholars to share the innovative ways that they are assessing ethics coverage in courses and degree programs. Second, these authors identify what needs to be assessed and the means for doing so. Third, the book serves not only as a guide to assessment, but also as a platform for expanding and improving ethics coverage in business schools. Moreover, an important take away for readers is the provision of a simple formula, first advocated by Diane L. Swanson and William C. Frederick (University of Pittsburgh) in 2005, for delivering ethics education that minimizes assessment errors. By following this formula, business schools can provide assurances that ethics will not be assessed as being sufficient when it is woefully inadequate or even missing in the curriculum and that it cannot be distorted, diluted, or trivialized by uninformed coverage and still pass inspection. Avoiding these assessment errors is critical in an educational environment in which weak accrediting standards for ethics go hand in hand with spotty, uniformed coverage that would not be tolerated for other business disciplines.

Download or read book Accounting Ethics Education written by Margarida M. Pinheiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting Ethics Education: Teaching Virtues and Values gathers a diversity of contributions from invited, well-known experts. It promotes a comprehensive reflection around how ethics can and should be taught to accounting students, discussing and highlighting the most updated research on accounting ethics education, and it is an essential reference in the field. The subject of accounting ethics education is critical to foster ethical awareness that may prevent the way in which one acts or behaves, especially towards others. The point is that accounting education cannot exist without ethical education and accountants must be technically proficient and ethically sensible since ethical behavior is vital to the status and credibility of the accountancy profession. And this sensibility must be developed while the future professional is still cultivating his or her moral and intellectual structure within the school learning environment: character and practical reasoning are crucial because they include not only knowledge of rules and principles, and their correct application but also values and virtues. Examining multiple perspectives, Accounting Ethics Education: Teaching Virtues and Values advances the scholarly debate by providing cuttingedge and insightful research vital for all those interested and immersed in these matters. It begins with a historical perspective of accounting ethics education and continues by exploring challenges, opportunities and developments in the area. It will be of great value to academics, students, researchers and professionals in the fields of accounting, accounting education and ethics.

Download or read book Two Methods of Business Ethics Instruction at the Secondary Level written by Cathleen Jane Golden and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to provide information about the effectiveness of two instructional methods for developing ethical decision-making skills of secondary students enrolled in business education courses. The traditional teacher-led lecture with case studies method and the exploratory activity method were compared. To evaluate the ethical decision-making skills of students, the Defining Issues Test (DIT) was administered. The DIT is an objective test that produces P scores (the relative importance given to principled moral considerations in making a decision) and D scores (the overall index of moral judgment development). The study utilized a quasi-experimental, two factor design with repeated measures on one factor (split-plot). Analyses resulted in a statistically significant difference between the DIT scores for both groups when used as a pretest and posttest. There was no statistically significant difference between the traditional teacher-led lecture with case studies method and the exploratory activity method on improving ethical decision-making skills. In addition, no significant difference was found between the two groups' perceptions about the class. Conclusions were: (1) Teaching students about business ethics does improve their ethical decision-making skills. (2) The traditional teacher-led lecture with case studies method and the exploratory activity method are both effective for teaching ethical decision-making skills to secondary students. (3) Students' perceptions about the course do not appear to be affected by instructional method. (4) The traditional teacher-led lecture with case studies method and the exploratory activity method require approximately the same amount of instructional time.

Download or read book Ethics and Organizations written by Josep M. Lozano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the core issues in the field of business ethics from both an historical and a systematic standpoint. It analyzes corporate social responsibility, stakeholders, ethical codes, corporate cultures, and other issues. But the analysis takes place within a framework specially designed by the author in order to integrate the various dimensions of present-day business ethics. This integration is linked to an interpretation of business ethics as an organizational learning process in the context of the social and cultural changes caused by the emergence of a knowledge society. This approach makes it possible to adopt a focus and language, which can simultaneously take into account ethical concerns and corporate and organizational development. A previous version of the book (written in Catalan) was awarded the 1998 Joan Sardà Dexeus prize for best book on corporate economics by the Catalan Association of Economists.
