Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to compare a traditional educational environment with a cooperative learning environment within Libyan business degree institutions and how this affects students' perceptions of empowerment and development of professional accounting competencies in introductory accounting courses. The research also investigates the relationship of empowerment with development of professional accounting competencies and classroom instruction. This study involved a survey of 288 students who were studying in the first year in introductory accounting. Data were analysed using reliability tests, factor analysis, t-tests and correlations. The results indicate that students who attended cooperative learning classes are more empowered than students who attended traditional classes. In addition, the result revealed that student perceptions of empowerment and development of the professional accounting competencies was influenced by classroom instruction methods. |
