As for the Cardiff study, what they did was to get their students to
program a spreadsheet to, say, enter bookkeeping transactions into "T"
account format and derive a trial balance from them; or a trading and
profit and loss account in a spreadsheet as opposed to the old fashioned
pencil and paper trick. They could do any one of myriad things that were
all aimed the application, analysis and synthesis of accounting.
Can't speak for the Israeli study as Chris hasn't come up with the plain
brown envelope yet!
