PROBLEMS OF
TEACHING ACCOUNTING IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
A review of
related literature to my study and researcher’s personal observation helped me
in drawing up the questionnaire. The
items of the questionnaire were designed according to the problems that were
investigated.
The problems
of facilities was significant and this hindered mass participation of students.
The problems
of inadequate number of trained and qualified accounting teachers incurred
popularity of the subject in the schools.
The problems of large enrollment of students in the schools as a result
of population explosion due to the introduction of Universal Primary Education
(U.P.E.) made teaching of accounting ineffective in the schools because of
unwieldiness of classes.
The problems
of teaching aids and method were identified and this contributed to students
uninterested in taking account in the school.
The
implications and prospects of the above findings to teaching of account in
secondary school were equally discussed.
Based on the findings, some useful recommendations on ways and means of
improving the teaching of accounts in the schools were outlined.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1.BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
The efficacy
of education as a good tool f all – round progress in human experience has made
many societies especially in Nigeria to set up promoting efficient and
desirable learning. At such institutions
the main focus of both learners and teachers is the acquisition of worthwhile
knowledge the impartation responsibility that really resolves round the
teacher.
The purpose
of teaching at any level therefore, is to produce certain desirable changes in
the learners. Such changes may be inform
of acquiring intellectual skills, problem solving or the inculcation of
desirable attitudes.
The Book –
keeping which is the recording fo all transactions, which involves money or
money’s worth in systematic order has been in existence for a long time.
According to
“the Rapid Results Accounting Course” Number 551 page three, it was said that
traders in the day of Ancient Babylon kept their records by writing on clay
which was then backed in the sun. It was
also said in the book (rapid Result College Accounting Course No. 551 Pp. 3)
that another brought to England by the Normans.
This was simply a piece of wood split into two parts and marked off in
notches the notches representing the amount of goods sole or the amount owing
between one party and another. It was
further explained in the book that modern way of book – keeping which spread to
all over the world today began in Northern Italy in the late thirteenth century
and this system introduces the principle of double entry.
1.2.STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
Book –
keeping is caused through trading that is buying and selling of goods either
for cash or on credit.
Therefore in
business there must be two people involved.
The name given to them are “Debtor and Creditor” so, for every
transaction there must be two entries in the books of accounts and this two
entries are known as “Debit and Credit”.
1.3.PURPOSE
OF THE RESEARCH
The purpose
for which accounting records are kept in business may be listed as follow:
To show the
trading results of the business that is whether it has made profit during a
certain periods or whether losses have been incurred.
Proper
accounting records greatly help safeguard the assets of a business against mis
– appropriation and of deterrent against fraud, especially in large business.
The historic
accounting may be used not to measure past profit but the adopted to show the
management of the business which has been their most profit policies and also
the efficiency of various operations.
It has been
legally necessary for a long time for certain kind of business to keep proper
accounting records.
1.4.IMPORTANCE
