| Summary: | Technology-based accounting education is a step in the right direction to meet the industry demand for higher
quality and IT savvy professional accountants as it is an essential component in today’s student-centered
learning approach era. However, the elements that contribute to the enhancement of vital IT skills among the
accounting students in a student-centered learning environment are still vague and need to be further
discussed. This study measures the accounting students’ acceptance of technology-based teaching approach
based on their past IT experience, actual usage of IT in education as well as computer skills. The questionnaires
were randomly distributed to the accounting students in a selected Malaysian public university. This study
found a significant positive relationship between the past IT experiences and the acceptance of technologybased education as well as the IT skills of the students; and between the usages of a computer laboratory with
the IT skills of the students. The limitations of this study and suggestion for future research are also presented. |
