Teachers’ readiness at modernising teaching of accounting using available technology applications to ensure learners 21st essential skills

Résumé

This study aimed to investigate how accounting teachers use current technological apps to modernize accounting instruction and guarantee that students acquire critical 21st-century skills. The researcher used a case study research design in conjunction with a qualitative approach to achieve this goal. The authors employed semi-structured interviews to collect data from accounting instructors, using a sample of six educators who were conveniently and purposefully chosen. The results showed that, despite the availability of programs to support accounting instruction, accounting teachers do not use technology to teach accounting. The study also shows that some educators are eager to learn about and make use of the various technological tools at their disposal to better assist their students. The study also found that the secret to modernizing accounting education is forming alliances with networking corporations and academic institutions. To teach accounting, it is imperative that teachers receive retraining and that infrastructure be provided. The authors recommend that, higher education institutions, such as universities, must provide teachers with comprehensive training on all facets of technology use. Teachers who are currently employed by the education department should get training from ICT specialists in the basic education department on pedagogical topic knowledge that may be utilized to update accounting instruction.
