 ABSTRACT

The study sought to assess the factors that affect the interest levels of Grade 12

ABM Accountancy students of Centro Escolar Integrated School Malolos. The factors

referred to are: (1) Quality of education, (2) Physical and Social Environment, and (3)

Personal Aspects. This study employed a descriptive type of research method with 30

Grade 12 ABM Accountancy students of CEIS Malolos as respondents. The instrument

used is in questionnaire form utilizing the Likert Scale. Findings revealed that the factor

Physical and Social Environments contributes positively the most to the interest levels of

the students while the Quality of Education is viewed the least. Moderate interest towards

Accounting is also manifested among the Accountancy students of CEIS Malolos with

respect to their aspirations and visions. The implication is that the Accountancy program

is viewed as a stepping stone to achieve the respondents’ ambitions and they would most

likely continue to pursue it in college, despite its difficulty. It is highly suggested for the

Accounting instructors to develop and explore methods that would gain the attention of

students and pique their interest, as well as to consider seminars and training programs for

both teachers and students.
