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

intention of this study is to evaluate the factors that are responsible for
