Abstract: Using a model developed by Young (2000), this paper explores the relationship between performance in the Accounting Information Systems course, self-assessed computer skills, and attitudes toward computers. Results show that after taking the AIS course, students experience a change in perception about their use of computers. Females' self-evaluation of their computer skills improved significantly after the course, while males' self-evaluation showed no change. Females also received significantly higher grades compared to males. There was a significant relationship between confidence and self-assessed computer skills. This study shows that the AIS course is successful in developing students' confidence in using computers. Training that results in accurate self-assessment of skills may influence the choice of careers and one's future success in those careers.
