“…Other studies also reveal that user attitudes towards IST can affect job satisfaction and impact sustainability using IST (Grimm & Blazovich, 2016;Sagala et al, 2017;Sagala & Sumiyana, 2020;Wang & Scheepers, 2012;Wu & Lu, 2013). In this research, the learning community is thought to influence attitude toward computerbased statistics, which will make students take the initiative to adopt data analysis software to help complete their assignments.…”

This study examined the three dimensions that should exist in a learning community, namely Student Cohesiveness, Integration, and Task Orientation, related to their influence on attitude toward computer-based statistics. Attitude toward computer-based statistics itself is measured using constructs of the revised Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study was designed to justify the value of information systems (IS) in overcoming accounting students' statistical problems. The use of IS probable to reduce the pressure in dealing with statistics so that there is an opportunity to increase accounting students' competitive advantage. The respondents consisted of 105 undergraduate accounting students. The data was collected using a 5-scale Likert questionnaire then analyzed using Structural Equational Modelling (SEM). With purposive sampling, this study was collected 105 responses obtained from private and state universities. The results indicate that task orientation is the key indicator of the learning community, affecting attitude toward computer-based statistics. Meanwhile, the second-order factors show that all three predictors were essential in explaining attitude toward computer-based statistics and significantly impacted Reuse Intention. This study also suggests implementing an informal learning community to build learning dynamics that are more independent but still controllable so that the learning topic is integrated with certain subjects.

“…The earlier study has adapted and further developed the evaluation instrument from Maiden Perry (2011), Huff (2014) and Wilkin (2017). Furthermore, the project design refers to the integrated design of Grimm and Blazovich (2016) and Huff's (2014) The Goal Project.…”

“…In the third stage, students were asked to disseminate their synthesis draft before their peers. The dissemination is intended to produce broader discussions with peer reviews, so students can refine their ideas through brainstorming in the class (Grimm and Blazovich, 2016). Besides, dissemination is intended for the implementation of peer evaluations.…”

“…Moreover, Huff (2014) found that the project is not only able to improve cognitive abilities, but also promotes the ability to think creatively, leadership and communication skills. Likewise, Grimm and Blazovich (2016) found that projects can help students develop critical thinking skills and analytical skills. Jelinek (2017) found that students felt that the project assignment gave them a sense of learning more, and the students thought that the project task was more valuable than homework in general.…”

Purpose Accounting Education Change Commission reveals that accounting professionals are required to have interpersonal skills. For this reason, higher education requires the dynamics of learning that can foster critical thinking skills, analysis, communication, negotiation, cooperation and argumentation. Therefore, studies in the field of accounting education have led to a project approach to provide students with complex learning experiences to develop various supporting skills in addition to learning outcomes. Interestingly, the methods have its own dilemma with social loafing in groups. Therefore, a lecturer must be able to match it with an appropriate evaluation instrument. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of implementing peer evaluations and project-based learning (SMEs project) on improving the interpersonal skills of accounting students. Design/methodology/approach The population of this research is Accounting students at Medan State University, while the sample is students who are undergoing Cost Accounting courses taken with purposive sampling. The within-sample of field experiment method was conducted in the current study. Furthermore, data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA analysis assisted by SPSS 19. Findings The results of this study showed that students had an increase in interpersonal skills in their board, and peer-evaluation design resulted in learning satisfaction and fairness in students. Originality/value The results of this study produce practical recommendations for lecturers to innovate their learning activities with actual project design and control group dynamics with accommodative evaluation designs. This study provides new insights in building a comprehensive instructional design, so it can strengthen the concept of instructional and evaluation designs which are integral parts that should match between one another.
