Accounting Competences and Self-efficacy of Teachers

The aims of teaching accounting include providing trained manpower for industry and commerce and for the acquisition of skills for further studies. Thus, accounting teachers are expected to be competent in the science and art of teaching, if these aims must be achieved. The exhibition of a low level of competence together with low self-efficacy could make accounting a difficult and less interesting subject to the students, and scary to other students who would have had interest in the subject. This book presents empirical evidence on the influence of accounting competences on self-efficacy of teachers. The book is intended to enlighten teachers, educational administrators, policy makers, and other stakeholders in education on the need to prioritize competences in the teaching and learning process.
