In today’s new challenging world, students are facing various barriers to be successful in
the university. Technology is one of the main influences as students are exposed to
various new upcoming online technologies such as online games and social media which
affect their intention to study. Among the factors are parental contact, student attitude,
lecturer teaching effectiveness, extra-curricular activity, student’s learning pattern, credit
hours taken and technologies. Therefore, this proposed study seeks to identify the factors
that affect academic performance among accounting students in University Malaysia
Terengganu. The data will be collected through self-administered questionnaire survey
which will be distributed to targeted 300 students. The research results are expected to
provide valuable insights to the university especially the faculty & the program coordinator
in order to improve and re-design the academic curriculum to be parallel with
the new era of university education that moves towards Industry Resolution 4.0.
