Insightsof Grade 10 Students in the ABM Strand

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Accountancy, Business, and Management strand focuses on the basic concepts of financial management. It allows a deep appreciation of the fantastic world of accounting and business management. The study helps students change their perceptions about the ABM strand.

METHODS

This study used phenomenology research to identify experiences from a personal point of view and convenience sampling where the first available primary data source will be gathered from. The respondents are selected grade 10 students from different sections in GMATHS. The survey questionnaire was used to gather data composed of open-ended questions relating to the topic or issues.

RESULTS

The study found that some grade 10 students have limited knowledge about the ABM strand. The students think that the ABM strand is more of computation and solving problems relating to business and analyzing transactions. The subject is not easy to understand.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate that students must change their insights about the ABM strand and that teachers should provide more information about the ABM strand so that students may understand what it is all about.
