Identifying the Most Useful Instructional Methods in Courses Taught Concurrently on Campus and Online
Redmer, Timothy A. O.
Rundle, Claire
This study used a questionnaire to identify instructional methods/teaching strategies that were most useful to encourage student performance in on-campus and online classes. The study also identified differences in the usefulness of instructional methods between the on-campus and the online students. Participants in the study were former and current students from graduate-level business courses in accounting and finance. The study examined 10 instructional methods related to four teaching strategies — constructivism, collaboration, problem-based learning, and technological enhancements currently used in the course to improve student performance. Results of the analysis show that the instructional methods of group activities, along with supplemental content-organizing materials, were most useful to students. There were also some differences in usefulness between on-campus and online students for the instructional methods prerecorded CD lectures, special projects, and course modifications, but not necessarily in the direction expected. These findings seemed to support the premise that the use of a variety of teaching strategies should be encouraged to enhance student performance.

An Analysis of How Demographics Affect the Ethical Sensitivity of Accounting Students
Stichter, Roger L.
This paper reports the results of a test for determinants of ethical sensitivity in accounting students at public universities and Christian liberal arts universities. Society relies on the ethical practice of the accounting profession, and the recognition of ethical situations is a necessity for finding proper solutions. Results show none of the demographics tested as statistically significant determinants of ethical sensitivity. Such a study using religiosity as one of the independent variables had not previously been completed in the United States.

Using End-of-Course Student Survey Data to Investigate Faculty Effectiveness
Hall, Harry
This research analyzed school of business faculty effectiveness controlling for the mode of delivery using over 50,000 student end-of-course (EOC) surveys. The surveys were collected for the year July 2011 through June 2012 from adult programs at the school of business and leadership of a private, Christian university. The findings indicate that full-time faculty members receive slightly higher ratings compared to adjunct faculty when the mode of delivery was on-site. However, adjunct faculty members were perceived as more effective than fulltime faculty when the mode of delivery was online. Ratings were higher for full-time faculty on-site compared to full-time faculty online and ratings were higher for adjunct faculty on-site compared to adjunct faculty online.

Is There Overrepresentation of Students of Color in Christian Higher Education Advertising and Do Students Care?
Hagenbuch, David
In an effort to portray a welcoming environment for students of color, some Christian colleges and universities may be tempted to overrepresent their racial diversity in their promotional materials. Through a two-phase empirical analysis, this study explored three factors that are central to this potential ethical issue: the prevalence of racial overrepresentation at Christian colleges, the relative attraction of promotional materials that depict higher versus lower percentages of students of color, and prospective college students’ evaluation of racial overrepresentation. Although relatively few Christian schools were found to overrepresent their student population’s actual racial diversity, some did so substantially, and others even underrepresented their diversity. Furthermore, while prospective college students expressed only moderate concern about racial overrepresentation, their attraction to various brochures differed along racial lines. Students of color exhibited little variation in their preferences, but Caucasian students tended to favor brochures that depicted medium to low levels of racial diversity. These findings present unique ethical considerations for institutions of Christian higher education, which often emphasize integrity, reconciliation, and concern for those who are disadvantaged.

Preparing Business Students to be Salt and Light: Three Models of Faith Formation in Business Tested Head-to-Head
Edgell, Margaret
This study responds to the need for empirical work on the complex nature and dynamics of faith formation. A survey of business students tested three models of faith formation by indicating which aspects of these models best reflected perceived experience. Classic secular theory dominates the student development literature, including in the Christian academy. As a result, secular theory influences heavily the thinking of Christian student-life professionals. A first model was derived from classic secular theory. A cutting-edge model from the secular literature offered a second model. A third model was derived by the author from an explicitly Christian philosophy of education. The author expected this empirical study to verify the already highly verified classic secular model. Even so, the author’s model was verified most strongly of the three models. This result offers encouragement to business faculty who teach according to their own explicitly Christian working models of how their students mature in their faith. Relevant literature, research warrant, methodology, and results are discussed below.

Refocusing the Project Class on Partnering with the Client and Partnering with God
Harman, Les
After extensive research, including a ten-year satisfaction survey, this paper presents a major shift in the pedagogy of teaching client-based project classes. Six new teaching strategies were implemented, specifically aimed at focusing marketing students on new partnering strategies to build equity in the client relationship. This resulted in superior marketing plans, highly satisfied students and clients, and a significantly greater percentage of the plan being implemented. Furthermore, spiritual integration occurred in and out of the classroom at a remarkable level as the refined class provided an ideal environment for students to partner with God.

The Impact of Christian Education and Curriculum on Illegal Media File Sharing Attitudes and Behavior
Lewer, Joshua J.
Gerlich, R. Nicholas
Lucas, Doyle
The purpose of this paper is to examine the ethics and economics behind file sharing and to empirically test the role a Christian education has on illegal file sharing. The empirical results are interesting and find that Christian education has no effect on ethical attitudes or actual stealing behavior, and suggest that faculty at Christian colleges and universities cannot assume that discussions about Christian principles and moral attitudes will automatically be seen in the student behavior that follows. Integration of faith perspectives into actual practice likely needs to be intentionally addressed with specific behavioral examples as the discussion points.

Lighting a Path to the Straight and Narrow Practice of Faith Integration in Accounting
Underwood, Julia
This edition of the CBAR brings its readers a rare opportunity to see the impact of one article on another article within the same publication. In Pathways to Integration: The Dialogical Approach by Underwood and Havens, a unique engagement model to faith integration is explained. The CBFA has supported Dialogical Conferences for the past four years, and we have developed and implemented five Dialogical Conferences during that period. The usefulness of the Dialogical Approach is evidenced in Implementing Faith in Accounting: Application in a Student Auditing Project Through Service to the University by LaShaw, Lambert and Sloan.

Relationship of Religious Commitment to Characteristics of Part-time, Online Instructors
Starcher, Keith
Part-time, online instructors are a diverse group. Some are employed full time outside of higher education. Some string together several part-time teaching positions from multiple institutions in an attempt to generate a full-time income. Some are full-time faculty who also teach part-time "on the side." It is important for administrators within higher learning institutions to more fully understand variables that may impact the personal and work characteristics of this diverse group. The variable of interest in this paper is religious commitment. The degree of religious commitment has been identified in the literature as one factor that predicts a faculty member’s organizational commitment. A recent Pew Research Center study concludes that those in the millennial generation have lower religious commitment than the average American. The same research determined that the millennials (adults ages 18 to 34) are now the largest share (33%) of the American workforce. Thus, we would expect to find some millennials with a lower religious commitment working as part-time, online instructors. This paper presents the results from an online survey (n=1054) regarding the relationship between religious commitment and certain characteristics of part-time, online instructors. Results suggest that part-time, online instructors with low religious commitment differ from those with high religious commitment in regards to characteristics such as gender, age, ethnicity, religious affiliation, level of education, instructional environment, motivation, instructor behaviors, instructor concerns, job satisfaction, and employer loyalty. These differences have implications for administrators of faith-based institutions who wish to attract, support and retain instructors that are mission fit (based on religious commitment).

Impact of Student-Led Instruction vs. Professor-Led Instruction on Course Performance and Student Perceptions of Learning
Hammond, Rachel
This study examines the difference in student performance when exposed to either student-led or professor-led instruction on Faith and Work topics, and whether the difference in instruction method has an impact on student beliefs about their learning and their perceptions about student-led instruction. Quiz scores and post-course survey results indicate that there was no difference in student performance based on instruction method, but student perceptions about learning varied. The results suggest that the process of creating student presentations positively influences learning, but that learning content from peers is not viewed as having a positive impact on learning.

Bible Readings or News Articles in Undergraduate Corporate Finance: A Teaching Methodology Comparison
Saunders, Kent T.
This paper compares two sections of undergraduate financial management. The classes were virtually identical with the exception of how each class session started. The news article class began with student news article presentations. The Bible reading class began with student Bible readings. The classes are compared with respect to grades, student attitudes of the Bible’s relationship to finance, and student awareness of current events in finance. Statistical analysis was conducted using t-tests, Mann-Whitney tests, ordinary least squares, and ordinal regression. How class sessions started did not affect students’ overall course grades. However, the Bible reading class responded significantly higher to the statement “to what extent do you feel that the Bible is related to finance?” Additionally, the news article class responded significantly higher to the statement “to what extent are you aware of current events in finance?”

What If We Are Graduating Utilitarians?
Herrity, Andrew C.
Senior undergraduate business students at a Christian university surprise the author during presentations of personally-held values by failing to describe their top value of truthfulness in terms of Christian virtue. This leads to a 30-month grounded theory study. Observations of students’ top value of truthfulness may indicate utilitarian precognitive tacit knowledge, suggesting bias engaged without deliberate thought. Implications are discussed at the end of the paper. Informed by literature on the social psychology of moral decision-making, the author suggests a transformational integration approach may be required for preparing students for the problems associated with Utilitarianism in the marketplace.

The Evolution of a Christian Business School’s Mission - Bringing “Business As Mission” to a Business School’s Mission
Capps, Chuck
Touchstone, Rob
Eldridge, Ray
Smith, Leanne
Borchers, Andrew
Colleges of business typically seek accreditation to achieve legitimacy and raise their reputations. Major business school accreditors (AACSB, ACBSP, and IACBE) all base their accreditation standards on college-created mission statements. This paper describes how one Christian business school developed a unique mission statement in response to both accreditation standards and as a spiritual transformation catalyst. This statement calls for the college to “develop business leaders who embrace the values and virtues of Jesus,” and it is now being inculcated through curricular and co-curricular activities. This paper details how three programs in particular: Business as Mission, Servant Leadership, and Service Learning—manifest and lend credence to the mission.

Research Note: On Tracking Faith-Related Student Learning Outcomes in Accredited Christian Business Schools
Wilkerson, James M.
Okrepkie, Phyllis
This research note focuses on whether or not accredited Christian business schools formally articulate goals for and track faith-related student learning outcomes (SLOs), and it discusses some of the difficulty in doing so. Results of a small survey suggest that perceived importance of faith-related SLOs is associated with significantly greater likelihood of the business school having formally articulated such SLOs. At the same time, only half of the survey sample’s business schools reported using faith-related SLOs.

Biblical Screens and the Stock Selection Process: Applications for a Student-Managed Fund
Brune, Chris
Files, James
The growth in socially responsible and ESG investing reflects a desire for investors to select investments that mirror their values. Christian colleges and universities that offer a student-managed investment fund may similarly desire to invest in a way that reflects biblical principles. This paper outlines a process for incorporating stock screens from the Biblically Responsible Investing Institute (BRII) into the standard stock selection process for a student-managed fund.

Just Business Book Review and Reflection
Chase, Lanelle M.
In the field of marketing and business in general, many ideas of what it means to exemplify acceptable ethical behavior inform practice. In his book Just Business, Alexander Hill (2008) describes the three elements of the Christian faith (holiness, justice, and love) and relates them to business ethics in the secular world. Is it plausible and acceptable to combine Christian morality and business ethics, or should the two entities exist and function separately? Should there be a “dual morality” or should one’s Christian faith override or replace business ethics? Is the answer situationally driven? How are ethical decisions made when the law and one’s personal faith are in conflict? Should the positivism approach be selected, which says that the law is always right, regardless of whether or not personal conviction opposes it? Narrowing these ethical issues down to the field of marketing, how might the practice of deceptive advertising be viewed in light of these considerations?

One of the most commonly used approaches for faculty development in higher education is collaborative peer observation. The collaborative model has been widely studied and, as such, has produced well documented best practices. These best practices will be summarized as a framework for institutions interested in launching a collaborative peer observation program as well as used as a basis for recommending enhancements to existing programs.

The Impact of a Theological Studies Course on The Ethical Development of Undergraduate Business Students
Brock, James
In this article, the researcher examined the impact of a theological studies course on the ethical development of undergraduate business students. The researcher administered the Defining Issues Test version 2 (DIT2) instrument to participants and compared their assessed levels of ethical development. Participants were grouped according to whether they had completed a theological studies course prior to participation. Participants completing a theological studies course were not assessed to have superior levels of ethical development to those who had not completed a theological studies course. The findings suggest that exposure to theological studies courses alone is insufficient to improve ethical development.

Love as a Business Strategy: Resilience, Belonging and Success Book Review and Reflection
Berg, Trish
Teaching students about the value of organizational culture can be a daunting task for university professors. At faith-based universities, faculty face the additional challenge of connecting faith in Christ to organizational culture and answering the questions about how our faith should be reflected in our leadership. In Love as a Business Strategy: Resilience, Belonging and Success, authors Anwar et al. (2021) lay out the plan to flip any culture into a culture of love just as they have done at Softway, a software company Anwar created in 2003 during his senior year in college at the University of Houston. This book attempts to illustrate the methods they used along with sharing the stories of their journey and lessons learned. Though this is a secular market book, the biblical connections are evident on each page, and the lessons students can learn are transformational.
