- Abstract
Purpose: The objectives of the study is twofold, firstly to examine the level of perception towards online learning experiences among accounting undergraduates and secondly to investigate any significant differences exist in their perception of online learning experiences based on the undergraduates' personal and geographical characteristics. Design/methodology/approach: Given the quantitative in nature, this study employs a survey method that has been virtually disseminated to the accounting undergraduates in one of the top government-linked universities (GLUs) in order to gather their perception on the online learning experiences during the pandemic Covid-19. A total of 102 responses has been obtained and appropriate quantitative analyses have been conducted in order to achieve the objectives of the study. Findings: There are no significant differences between gender and home locations with all constructs of online learning perceptions variables, except for the accessibility areas and network quality with the instructor-students interaction and preferences of delivery time (synchronous mode of virtual learning) Research limitations/implications: This study is carried out solely involving accounting undergraduates of the GLU which constitutes a small segment of the university's overall undergraduates. As far as the accounting profession is concerned, however this study could gather some perceptions of online learning experiences from the accounting students during the pandemic whether the limitations of virtual learning could not impede their ability to learn and have independent learning although without the normal state of face-to-face learning environment. Practical implications: The necessity for universities to improve the virtual learning-based skills for lecturers so that the important aspects in facilitating the students in having their online and self-learning would not be sidelined. Originality/value: This paper highlights the issues of the perceptions of online learning experiences specifically among the accounting students which are not being discussed in the previous online learning-related studies.
