Abstract of Source and Structure of Knowledge Factors Influencing Students Achievement in Accounting Concepts in Ondo State, Nigeria
This study examined the source and structure of knowledge factors influencing studentsโ achievement in selected Accounting concepts in Ondo State, Nigeria. This has become necessary because of the poor performance of students in the subject. This research aimed to know the influence of the source and structure of knowledge factors on students achievement in Accounting because poor performance in the subject limits their potential for advancement to tertiary institutions and their career. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The sample consists of 201 students selected by simple random sampling in four secondary schools in Akoko North East Local Government, Ondo State. The data was subjected to multiple regression analysis and the results showed that there is no significant relationship between source and structure of knowledge and studentsโ achievement in Accounting concepts (r=0.13; p>0.05). The findings also showed that the source of knowledge (ฮฒ= -0.06; t=-0.068; p>0.05) and the structure of knowledge (ฮฒ=-0.05; t=-0.055; p>0.05) have no significant relative influence on studentsโ academic achievement in Accounting concepts.
Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that other factors that can possibly affect studentsโ performance in Accounting concepts such as parentsโ factors, peer influence, students interest in the subject and the socio economic status or family background should be considered.
KEYWORDS: Source of Knowledge, Structure of Knowledge, Academic Achievement.
