In the first instance, it was found that the majority of Accounting School (AS) students perceived satisfactorily meeting their intrinsic goals as their measure of success rather than meeting their extrinsic goals such as those set in the prior literature. This result was in contradiction to previous studies that articulated Accounting School (AS) students were more focused on passing their CPA qualification examination (e.g. Kawasaki et al., 2010). The results also revealed that students studying at the Accounting School (AS) , and who would become future professional accountants, were not sufficiently aware of the contemporary importance of thinking/ judgment skills. There is no doubt that educators and tutors in Accounting School (AS) need to place a bigger effort on enhancing students’ awareness of this important skill. For example, accounting academics at the Accounting School (AS) should integrate more unstructured and problem-based learning materials with their curriculums.
