The Effect of Accounting Computer Training for Teachers of Accounting Vocational Schools to Improving Teacher Competency

Abstract

Technology improvements have an impact on the development of accounting programs. One of them is an accurate accounting program. Accurate programs have been widely used by companies in managing finances. For this reason, Vocational High Schools should answer the challenges of the times by introducing this program as additional expertise for their students. The problem is the competence of accounting teachers in the field of accounting computers is still low, so it is suspected that one of the efforts made to improve teacher competency is through training activities.To test the hypothesis proposed in this study, paired sample test was used. Before the training is held, participants are given a pretest first. After the training is completed, participants are tested again for their knowledge related to the training material. Statistical test results between pretest and posttest score data showed a sig value of 0,000. This provides evidence that computer accounting activities can increase vocational accounting teacher competencies in the field of accounting computers. Furthermore, increasing teacher competency is expected to be transferred to students and reflected in the UKK scores and graduate admissions in the world of work.
