Randomized trial evaluates computer effects on learning in accounting education, suggesting factors influence outcomes.

This study aims to evaluate how computers affect learning accounting concepts while controlling for individual differences.
Used an ANOVA test to assess initial differences in learning attributable to computer use.
Controlled individual abilities and achievement strategies during analysis with ANCOVA to evaluate real impact on learning.
Learning was assessed through a posttest included in a final exam.
ANOVA showed significant initial differences in learning with computer use, but ANCOVA revealed no significant difference (p=0.5) after controlling confounding factors.

Oglesbee et al. (1988) studied this question.
