“…Although SRL interventions exist for all male and female groups across a variety of domains, they are generally more concentrated at the college level, particularly in the form of "study skills" courses (e.g., accounting courses) (Weinstein et al, 2000). Our results also revealed a lack of review and preparation for accounting class (< 35%), consistent with other studies (e.g., Chen et al, 2013;Peng, 2004). Thus, the appropriate SRL for individual students is very important.…”

“…Students' TA and the means to enhance students' achievement were not addressed in that study. Chen et al (2013) identified a significant relationship between learning attitude and anxiety among Taiwanese hospitality management students in accounting classes.

“…Buckhaults and Fisher (2011) suggested that accounting educators could decrease students' anxiety and increase their motivation to learn accounting by using appropriate materials and new teaching methods. Numerous studies of accounting education have focused on the relationship between student performance and the quality of the accounting curriculum, including cognitive processes in learning (e.g., Booth & Mladenovic, 1999;Fisher & Murphy, 1995;Lucas, 2000Lucas, , 2001Lucas, , 2002Lucas & Meyer, 2005;Mladenovic, 2000), learning approaches (e.g., Byrne et al, 1999;Byrne et al, 2002;Davidson, 2002), teaching content and performance (e.g., Gow et al, 1994;Koh & Koh, 1999), learning style and attitude toward accounting (e.g., Chen et al, 2013;Duff, 2004), and cognitive preferences and cooperative learning among students (e.g., Ramsay et al, 2000). However, to date, the role of self-concept as it relates to accounting education has yet to be investigated, despite the well-known relationship among self-regulated learning (SRL), test anxiety (TA), and academic achievement.…”

Previous research has indicated that accounting is a very important basic course for undergraduate business and management students. Studies have also shown that most accounting teachers and students are anxious about their ability to effectively teach and learn the course curriculum, respectively, which may result in a poor outcome for the students. Attempts have been made to improve accounting education and reduce anxiety by enhancing students' learning strategies and reducing the stress related to testing. The purpose of this research was to establish and model the effects of accounting anxiety on achievement, to examine the mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between test anxiety (TA) and achievement, and to compare the achievement and learning processes of students with different cognitive styles. Participants were 498 students from Taiwan business colleges. Our results revealed that self-regulated learning mediated the relationship between TA and accounting achievement. Additionally, with significant differences noted between students with analytical and intuitive cognitive styles. A discussion of study limitations and of implications for accounting education follows.

“…The data is presented in Table 2. The data results show that female students got lower grades in statistics course compared to male students, thus, the results are in accordance with Chen, Hsu & Chen (2013). This result shows that female students need to be given more stimulations to seek for help more actively in order to get deeper understanding of statistics learning.…”

Statistics is one of the subjects which is considered difficult by students. The lecturers should not only explain and give exercises to students but also need to listen to what the students feel and think as well as trying to find the solutions they have in statistics class. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of cyber counseling services in improving students skills in statistics and to increase psychological well being. Thirty college students who were attending statistics class and got low scores were involved in this study. Treatment in the form of cyber counseling service was given for four months with a frequency of three hours per day by a lecturer. Students were given an opportunity to share their difficulties and together with their lecturer attempted to find the solution. After the treatment, the monitoring of performance acquisition was done. T test analysis was applied to compare the acquisition performance before and after the assignment was administered. The results show that there was significant difference in the students statistics performance. They improved statistics performance significantly after they received cyber counseling service. These findings are very useful in pursuing appropriate statistical teaching methods for students in college.
