- W245185906 abstract "The high failure rate in obtaining the Certificate in the Theory of Accounting (CTA) a prerequisite for becoming a chartered accountant) at South Africa's biggest open and distance learning (ODL) institution, namely the University of South Africa (Unisa), is of great concern to the institution. Statistical tests were conducted to determine whether poor mathematical skills and language proficiency at matric level could be possible predictors of future academic failure at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level. Significant positive correlations were found between the variables, in other words, the better the student's mathematics and language results in matric (Grade 12), the better the undergraduate and postgraduate results. In addition, a test for mediation with regression was performed to determine possible causal relationships between the variables. It was found that undergraduate results act as a mediator between matric and postgraduate results. This indirect effect amounted to 44.9 per cent. The direct effect of matric mathematics and language results on postgraduate results was therefore 55.1 per cent. These findings suggest that matriculation results in mathematics and languages still have a significant impact on academic performance even after the completion of undergraduate studies. Various areas for future studies were identified to improve on the current high failure rate of CTA students." @default.
