THE INFLUENCE OF THE BEHAVIORAL PROFILE ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN THE ACCOUNTING COURSE
Keywords: Academic performance. IRA. Behavioral profile. DISC.
In higher education, specifically in the teaching of accounting, several variables are involved in the academic success or failure of students. Thus, based on the DISC Theory, this study aims to analyze the influence of the behavioral profile on academic performance. The research population comprises all undergraduate accounting students at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) with a non-probabilistic accidental sample. As a research instrument, to identify the DISC behavioral profile of students, the psychometric test validated by Johnson (2018) will be used. Academic performance will be measured by the Academic Performance Index (IRA). Data analysis will be through descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The research seeks to contribute to the advancement of the discussion on behavioral variables associated with academic performance in accounting education.
