Originality: This research contributes original insights by exploring the relationship between ease of use and user satisfaction in the context of integrated accounting practicum learning, offering new perspectives on the effectiveness of accounting software implementation in an academic environment. Conclusion: Usability was found to have a significant impact on user satisfaction with Zahir Accounting Enterprise software among accounting students. These findings have practical implications for the development of more effective technology-based accounting learning methods and enrich the academic literature on the evaluation of accounting information systems in the context of higher education.
