An Assessment of Technology-Enhanced Learning Tools in Accounting Education within Nigerian Tertiary Institutions

This study investigates the deployment and impact of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) tools in accounting education across Nigerian tertiary institutions. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative survey data from 350 students and 45 instructors with qualitative insights from faculty interviews. Results reveal a significant improvement in students’ practical competencies—specifically, a 15% increase—among those exposed to TEL interventions (β = 0.42, p < 0.01). Nonetheless, the uptake of advanced TEL tools remains restricted, with institutional resistance (37%) and inadequate faculty training (52%) recognized as significant obstacles. The study recommends comprehensive strategies, including curriculum reform, targeted faculty development, and policy innovation, to align accounting education with the evolving demands of the digital economy.
