Accounting: A case study of an elective subject in the Queensland senior high school curriculum

(2018) Accounting: A case study of an elective subject in the Queensland senior high school curriculum. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The shift to a knowledge economy has impacted education, particularly curriculum, as governments demand twenty-first century knowledge workers. This case study was developed as an in-depth consideration of the high school accounting curriculum in Queensland in a time of disruption and curriculum change. The study provided insight into stakeholder knowledge of the high school accounting curriculum, perceptions of the curriculum and reasons those perceptions have developed. The findings of this research indicate the skills developed in this elective high school subject are of value to stakeholders in disrupted times. This study has informed a new accounting syllabus in Queensland.
