Project Methodology

The project will examine the learning an assessment preferences of students from different cultural backgrounds studying in Melbourne, Hong Kong and Singapore, explore how assessment tools are developed and how the assessment is undertaken, and how the English competency issues of international students are being handled. A model for determining equivalency of student learning through assessment will be developed and mapped against the generic skills requirements of the accounting professional bodies. The project will contribute to an improved understanding of the links between generic skills and the measure of their attainment. It will also lead to greater confidence in the use of different assessment tools to achieve agreed student learning outcomes.
