Mohammad Ali Dehnavi, Maryam Dehnavi, Hadi Arezoobakhsh

Abstract


The current study aims to assess group-work effectiveness among accounting students’ attitudes. To achieve this aim, 72 students of accounting were chosen as the target population of the research applying simple random sampling. First, groups were chosen of three or five members. Then, during six weeks, the group projects were organized in 14 sessions and they were observed by lecturers with a problem-solving viewpoint. This educational viewpoint was considered as a 50 percent grade of computer application classes among accounting students. Cognitive perception of group-work was used by applying Garvin et al.’s questionnaire. By and large, the analysis of students’ responses indicates that group-work is positively effective in promoting students’ individual and social skills. The results of this study indicate positive outcomes from teaching group-work skills in accounting curriculum.
