In this dissertation, I create a navigable path between the learning sciences, accounting information systems (AIS), and analytics education. After considering the context of AIS and accounting analytics education, I present a learning sciences design framework, apply the design principles, and study their implementation and success in an accounting data analytics module. I cover pedagogy design, processes, and outcomes of students learning in a distributed constructionism design with collaborative problem solving using technology, and representations. The dissertation contributes to an understanding of how we can foster the learning of AIS and analytics; an increasingly critical area of professional practice.
