MUHASEBE PROGRAMI VE DİĞER PROGRAM ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN MUHASEBEYE GİRİŞ DERSİNDEKİ PERFORMANSLARININ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı muhasebe programına kayıtlı öğrenciler ile diğer program öğrencilerinin (İşletme, Dış Ticaret, Bankacılık, Büro Yönetimi) karşılaştırılmasıdır. Sonuçlar, muhasebe dersi öğrencilerinin diğer program öğrencilerine göre anlamlı derecede daha üstün performans gösterdiklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu anlamlı fark, muhasebe programı öğrencilerinin muhasebeci olmak için istekli olmalarına ve motivasyona verilebilir. Bununla birlikte araştırma, programa yerleşme puanı ve genel ortalama dikkate alındığında muhasebe programı öğrencilerinin diğer programlardan daha zayıf olduğunu göstermiştir. Muhasebe programı öğrencilerine ait olan en düşük yerleşme puanı ve genel ortalama mesleğin geleceği adına bazı kaygılara sebep olmaktadır. Çünkü, muhasebe programı, yüksek yeteneğe sahip öğrencileri kendisine çekememektedir. Bu bulgu, meslekle ilişkili tarafları problemin sebeplerini ve çarelerini bulma konusunda bir mesaj taşımaktadır
