Abstract

Learning accounting subjects requires students to understand the basic principles of
accounting and to practice appropriate learning approaches so that students can have better
understanding. However, effective understanding in accounting subjects is influenced by
several factors that will also influence student achievement in the accounting subjects.
Therefore, this study aims to identify factors that influence students' performance in accounting
subjects at the pre-diploma level. A key factor that has been considered is the early exposure in
accounting at secondary school. While, other factors included were gender, interest and parental
influence. The sample used in this study was students from Pre-Diploma Commerce program
at Universiti Teknologi Mara, Cawangan Pahang, Kampus Jengka. Questionnaires were
distributed to students to obtain data. Students' performance was measured based on their total
marks in the subject of Introduction to Accounting (ACC030). Data were analyzed using the
SPSS package to test hypotheses to determine the relationship between factors and student
performance. The findings showed that early exposure and students’ interest influence the
performance of pre-diploma students in accounting subject. Hopefully, the findings of this
study will help the teaching and learning of accounting subjects to be more effective.
