Is Mathematics Important for Accounting Learning? – A Study on Students’ Attitudes and Beliefs
Page: 1672
This study examined students’ attitudes toward mathematics, and beliefs in mathematics’ influence on accounting learning. It also explored how these two factors correlate to students’ scores in accounting courses. This study found that students believed that being good at math is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for performing well in accounting. Students who performed well in accounting usually showed a relatively positive attitude toward math.
