This paper extends a series of accounting education literature review articles1
through 2002. The purpose of this series is to organize and summarize accounting
education research, which should in turn (1) facilitate application of acquired
knowledge and ideas in the classroom and in administration (curriculum and faculty
issues) and (2) spark ideas for future research that extend current lines of inquiry or
expand into undeveloped areas. Articles in four journals dedicated to accounting
education are reviewed: Journal of Accounting Education, Accounting Education,
Advances in Accounting Education, and Issues in Accounting Education. The issues
and volumes of these journals are presented in Table 1. Two hundred and six articles
are reviewed in this paper compared to 216 in the prior 3-year period.
