• W1552897903 abstract "ABSTRACT This paper describes the application of metaphor in a writing assignment given to both graduate and undergraduate accounting students at Weber State University. As one method of teaching critical thinking skills, metaphor generates an image which is based on partial truth, requiring students to focus on one aspect of a topic in a novel way. After discussing metaphor, students were asked to write a short paper using metaphor to describe a self-selected accounting topic. Students were assigned metaphors based on the familiar stories in Alice in Wonderland. A rubric was developed for assessment of the written assignment. INTRODUCTION The global economy is constantly reshaped by changing technology and new work environments. To meet the needs of business and industry, accounting educators continually reassess the effectiveness of curricula and pedagogy. One consistent recommendation of special studies and reports is the need to move accounting students beyond technical training to higher-order thinking skills that look beyond the numbers (Bonk and Smith, 1998). The Accounting Education Change Commission, for example, identified capacities for inquiry, abstract logical thinking, and critical analysis as objectives of accounting education (AECC 1990, 308). Jackson and Durkee (2008) discuss a cross-disciplinary approach to incorporating literacy into the accounting curriculum. Information literacy is one of the objectives of a paradigm shift in teaching from the teacher presenting facts to facilitating active learning. Information literacy is key to critical thinking since the literate person must be able to recognize when is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effective the needed information (ALA, 1989, 1). In their search for a thinking skill framework, Bonk and Smith (1998) merge creative and critical thinking. Creative thinking is used during the early stages of problem solving where the right question is chosen and options selected. thinking is used to select a solution where the assessment of options using technology, sound judgment and the examination of evidence are important. Essentially, creative thinking is subsumed as a component of critical thinking as applied in this study, which examines the use of metaphor to teach critical thinking skills in an action learning assignment for accounting students. CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS thinking is a common element in the set of competencies and skills prescribed for today's accountants, but it has been difficult to agree on the definition of critical thinking or on which specific skills are involved (Baril et al., 1998). However, an underlying cause for the failure to teach critical thinking skills was identified by Green (1979, 472) in his description of bad students and bad teachers: They omit the step that requires the exercise of imagination and forge on to what is to be understood as literally true. What both leave out of the process is thinking. Truth passes from the professor 's notes to the student 's notes without going through the head of either. Ennis (1987, 10) used the following definition of critical thinking which will be used in this paper: Critical thinking is reasonable reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do. According to Ivie (2001, 18), we think reflectively whenever we 'turn back' upon or call into question the assumptions, premises, or presuppositions underlying our ideas. The purpose of such thinking is to establish clear and logical connections between beginning premises, relevant facts, and warranted conclusions. Ivey believes students are better able to think reflectively if they understand the root metaphors which underlie all complex systems of thinking. The idea of root metaphors originated with Pepper (1942). Just as methods and practice of any discipline are shaped by theory, theory in turn is shaped by world views, or root metaphors, which provide context for theories associated with a particular discipline. …" @default.
