ABSTRACT

This study examines the relationship between pre-professional cognition and learning behaviour among accounting students at a vocational college. Using chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis, the study identifies significant correlations between students’ academic performance and their understanding of the accounting profession before enrolment, confidence in studying the course, classroom engagement, and communication with teachers. The findings suggest that enhancing pre-professional awareness programs, developing interactive and practical curricula, strengthening parent-school communication, increasing classroom engagement techniques, promoting active learning, and enhancing support systems for assignment completion can significantly improve students’ academic outcomes. These insights provide valuable guidance for educational institutions aiming to optimize their accounting programs and better support student success.
