Regardless of these contributions to the literature on student learning, this research is not free from limitations. For example, a questionnaire-based survey used in this research may have caused a social desirability bias upon the responses from participants. For example students may have intentionally avoided negative descriptions that criticize teaching qualities and the teaching skills of their lecturers. Further, this study failed to capture how effectively the influential factors could be reflected on students’ actual (final) success at the Accounting School (AS). The set of influential factors derived from our findings simply presented students’ perceptions who were studying at the Accounting School (AS). Accordingly, it is not clearly known whether these perceived factors work effectively in achieving long term individual student success. To better address these limitations, a longitudinal study upon graduation would be useful to address the linkage between these influential factors and actual success rates. In-depth interviews and focus groups would also assist in collecting more reliable data from students. A focus on student learning styles and strategies may be an obvious extension from this present research.
