Five Suggested Soft Skills Learning Objectives for Enhancing Undergraduate Accounting Curriculum
Bennett, Cassandra; Bennett, Jeffrey L.
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v27 May 2022
Accountants interact with a multitude of stakeholders on a daily basis, from co-workers and supervisors to clients and members of governing organizations. Developing skills to navigate these interactions is crucial to their success. As Colleges and universities must develop ways to teach and assess these skills alongside the technical competencies of the industry. This paper identifies five key components of softs skills to be addressed in undergraduate curriculum: communication, critical thinking, reliability and responsibility, engaged listening, and respect. Five suggested learning objectives were derived from these components. The learning objectives related to these skills can be integrated into the existing course curriculum rather than as a separate course. Objectives could be completed in an efficient manner without adding significant time or effort of developing new classes.
