Main Article Content
Abstract
This systematic literature review examines the preparedness of senior high school graduates for the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) program. Analyzing themes such as deficiencies in mathematical proficiency, insufficient emphasis on practical application, challenges in critical thinking development, and communication skill gaps, the study highlights critical areas requiring attention within the senior high school curriculum. Findings emphasize the need for educational reforms and targeted interventions to bridge identified gaps. Recommendations include integrating real-world accounting scenarios and application-based learning for enhancing mathematical proficiency. Moreover, the study advocates for practical application-based methodologies, hands-on experiences, and case studies to connect theoretical knowledge to practical implementation. It also underscores the importance of fostering critical thinking skills through interactive and inquiry-based educational approaches, and integrating specialized communication modules tailored to accounting-specific communication to enhance students' proficiency in conveying complex financial information effectively. This study contributes to the discourse on educational reform, aiming to facilitate a smoother transition for senior high school graduates to the complex demands of the BSA program and the accounting profession.
