| Abstract: | The article discusses a learner-centered simulation for accounting students. Increasingly college professors need to adapt their educational methods to students raised in the "digital age," for whom simulations are an agreeable mode of instruction. The authors describe a simulation they devised for teaching accounting students about both a firm's earnings-per-share, and capital markets in general. An unintended consequence of their approach, they discovered, is that students are apt to absorb meaning that is socially constructed. |
