The measurement of meaning is an important aspect of research in both psychology and education. Using a semantic differential based instrument, the present study examines the development of connotative meanings for certain accounting concepts. Specifically, it measures the change in (1) the meaning of those concepts, and (2) the cognitive structure within which those meanings are held, observed between two points in time (the commencement and conclusion of a MBA accounting course).
