Abstract

Research on infographic in accounting education remains limited particularly among learners who require advanced technology and problem-solving skills competencies. Hence, the aim of this study is to propose extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) investigate the adaption and the actual use of infographics in accounting education. The variable of this study consists of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment and intention to use and actual usage of accounting infographics in education. This study supports the shift from the traditional approaches to more digital literacy, problem solving skills and readiness for the accounting profession. This study will a employ quantitative design using survey questionnaire. A convenience sampling used. The findings from the study would provide insight into learner’s intention to use infographics in accounting education.

Keywords
