Keywords:
teaching; skills; employability; work readinessAbstract
The Competency-Based Education (CBE) approach has become increasingly relevant in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, as organizations seek to adopt and integrate emerging technologies to remain competitive in the rapidly changing digital landscape. The main objective of the study was to gather and analyze the perspectives of students regarding the use of accounting software. The study employed an interpretive research paradigm and a qualitative approach to elicit the perspectives of accounting students on the use of Draftworx accounting software. The study found that accounting students feel that the software should be introduced earlier in their undergraduate program to help them acquire the basic skills needed for the job market after graduation. The study also highlighted the importance of early adoption and integration of new technology. The participants in the study believed that small class groups would be effective in ensuring they understand the use of the accounting software. The study found that students found the Draftworx software helpful and easy to use, making the process of learning accounting simpler, enabling them to complete their work accurately and on time. The findings of the study contributed to the CBE theory by highlighting the importance of using accounting Draftworx software in teaching and learning accounting modules.
