Abstract
The concept of empowerment was introduced into accounting education research by Zraa et al. (2011). The authors' purpose is to compare Libyan and Australian students' perceptions of empowerment in accounting courses and investigate their relationships with classroom instruction. This study involved a survey to 409 students who were studying the first year of a business degree at institutions in Libya and Australia. Observations and interviews were also conducted. Data were analysed using reliability tests, factor analysis, t-tests and correlations. The results indicate that Australian students are more empowered than Libyan students. In addition, the result revealed that classroom instruction methods influence student empowerment.
