INCORPORATING FINANCIAL LITERACY INTO THE ACCOUNTING CURRICULUM

1. Data Analyses

In analyzing the data collected through the questionnaire, the researchers will

use structural equational model to achieve the study’s objectives and test its

hypotheses. These will all be executed through the XXX statistical software. The

researchers will test the differences between the perceptions of educators and

practitioners. Upon its completion, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived

behavioral control will individually be checked through their latent variables because

the attributes cannot be directly measured. Upon its completion, attitude, subjective

norms, and perceived behavioral control will individually be checked for any

significant relationship using simple linear regression. This relationship will be

analyzed to see whether or not these three factors are significant predictors of

intentions in this context. The moderating effects of personal profile and financial

literacy knowledge will also be analyzed, as it is perceived to affect intention. The

researchers will perform the chi-square test on the personal profiles other than age

and ANOVA specifically on age and its brackets to their actual intentions to see if these

considerations vary their perception. Meanwhile they will breakdown the level of

financial literacy into three components mainly knowledge, behavior and preference.

These mediating variables will be used to explain their ultimate choice on whether

they want to implement financial literacy or not.
