Finally, students taking part in all waves reported that they perform task analysis more often than both other groups [(F 2, 373) = 9.589, p = 0.02; Scheffé#1–#2 p = 0.00, Scheffé#1–#4 p = 0.02], which indicates more frequent use of a meaningful and successful method of completing tasks in accounting.
