Muhasebe Eğitiminde Bilgi Teknolojileri Kullanımı Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

      Eğitim kurumlarına yönelik olarak AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) tarafından yayınlanan Uluslararası Muhasebe Akreditasyon Standartları, muhasebe eğitiminde bilgi teknolojilerinin kullanılmasının gerekliliğini ifade etmektedir. Prezi, eğitimde son zamanlarda sıklıkla kullanılan muhasebe bilgi teknolojilerinden birisidir. Çalışmanın amacı muhasebe eğitiminde Prezi kullanımının muhasebe dersi alan öğrenciler üzerinde algı düzeyinin ölçülmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, muhasebe derslerinde Prezi kullanılan ve kullanılmayan öğrencilere yönelik bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan araştırma neticesinde görülmektedir ki, muhasebe eğitiminde Prezi’nin kullanılması sayesinde öğrenciler muhasebe derslerini daha iyi anladıklarını, kullanılan araç ve gereçten memnun olduklarını ve derslerin daha ilgi çekici ve eğlenceli hale geldiğini ifade etmektedirler.
