The Effects Of Student Response Systems On Performance And Satisfaction: An Investigation In A Tax Accounting Class

Abstract

Does the use of student response systems (clickers) in the classroom increase student performance on exams? Do students perceive a benefit to using clickers in the classroom? This study investigates the effect of student response systems on accounting students’ learning outcome and perceived satisfaction. Results show that, though the use of clickers may not always help students do better on exams, clickers are a useful pedagogical tool that can help students pay attention in class and be more involved in a learning friendly environment.
