Abstract

This empirical paper proposed collaborative learning as a strategy to enhance performance in Accounting among university students. There has been a notable continuous trend of poor performance in Accounting from the first-year level to the fourth year. Again, there is also a noticeable decline in the number of students majoring in Accounting despite alternatives to enhance Accounting among university students. This paper is underpinned by bricolage theory which advocates the reworking the existing ideas or items to produce something new to improve human conditions. We responded to two questions: what is the cause of poor performance in Accounting among university students and how collaborative learning can be utilised to mitigate poor performance in Accounting among university students? Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with three students and three lecturers who were purposively sampled. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Findings revealed that lack of content conceptualisation, students’ negative attitudes towards Accounting, lack of academic commitment, and lack of Accounting pedagogical skills are the main reasons for poor performance among university students. Further, findings revealed that collaborative learning in Accounting among university students broadens students’ content knowledge and produces students with a variety of skills. In light of the above findings, we argued that collaborative learning should premise the teaching and learning of Accounting in higher education from a bricolage perspective.

Abstract

There are several problems that affects the quality of teaching and learning in accounting in secondary schools. In grade 12 particularly, English language misunderstanding, limited advance teaching skills and abilities, restricted teaching times and lack of parental support have been observed as major problems that hinders quality teaching and causes poor academic performance. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate how the connection model for integration of Information and Communication Technology can solve these four major grade 12 accounting problems. Actor Network Theory (ANT) informed this empirical inquiry. In addition, critical paradigm and Participatory Action Research were used to understand the research phenomenon. Six teachers were purposively sampled to participate in the discussion and the data collected was analysed using a content analysis. Results showed that connection model can solve the four major problem in grade 12 by offering opportunities of communicating in one language and using auto-correct to improve vocabulary. Through reinforcing technological knowledge and skills for new pedagogical ideas. Furthermore, by providing an alternative convenient learning method and connecting teachers with parents via WhatsApp. Considering the above results, the study suggested that connection model must be more embraced in accounting. The model must be documented and made available to accounting teachers to also use it for ICT integration in accounting. It is recommended that the connection model should be developed into an app for accounting.
