Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find out students’ perceptions of the
Bachelor of Education (Accounting) programme in the University of Cape
Coast. The study adopted the descriptive survey design in which data were
collected within the overarching framework of the Context Input Process
Product evaluation model. A sample size of 350 respondents participated in
the study. The multi-stage sampling technique, employing the stratified
sampling technique, proportionate random sampling technique and simple
random technique, was used in selecting the sample for the study. Descriptive
statistics (means and standard deviation) were used to analyse all the research
questions. The study found that the Bachelor of Education (Accounting)
programme is satisfactory to the context rubric of the CIPP model. However, it
was found that the programme is not satisfactory with respect to the input
rubric of the CIPP model. It was also revealed that students were satisfied with
the implementation of the B.Ed. (Accounting) programme. The study
recommended that the programme designers should include courses that will
expose students to the use of current accounting software used in Ghana such
as Tally accounting and the Head of department should ensure that
departmental library resources and facilities, current journals in Accounting
for both student and lecturers use, and teaching and learning materials are
adequately available and in right conditions.
