Abstract
It was the purpose of this study (1) to determine the bookkeeping methods used in high school bookkeeping classes in selected schools in the State of Texas. (2) To determine what types of bookkeeping methodology have been used with different units in the bookkeeping textbook (3) To determine which methods employed in teaching the different units have added "realism" to the course and, therefore, enhanced the learning process. (4) To determine if the methods employed in the teaching of the different units will tend to make the "learning" permanent.
