Abstract
The purposes of the study were to adopt plans to motivate and promote students interest in learning financial accounting using selected instructional materials at Akumfi Ameyaw Senior High School in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. Three research questions served as our guide The study as an action research design used convenience sampling to choose eighty (80) second year accounting students from a total population of two hundred and ten students in the business department.
Financial Accounting Achievement Test was conducted for the students to determine their pre and post- test performances before and after the intervention used. Mathematical tables, frequencies and percentages were used to compare and analyze student’s results to come out with the findings.
The outcome of the study reveals that the absence of various instructional materials in the teaching and learning of financial accounting negatively affects students learning. Hence the abstract ways of teaching financial accounting do not motivate and promote students interest in studying the subject.
It was recommended that individual differences prevail everywhere in the classroom, financial accounting teachers in Akumfi Ameyaw Senior High schools should therefore make effective use of the few instructional materials available in facilitating learning tasks to students.
