Ugiagbe-Green, Iwi (2016) The role of technology as mediating tools in developing professional identity & competency of trainee accountants. In: Social Media for Learning in Higher Education 2015 Conference (#SocMedHE15), 18 December 2015, Sheffield Hallam University, United Kingdom.
Abstract
The paper contributes to the literature on technology mediation, albeit within a specific assessment context. It achieves this through an exploratory study, in which different perspectives of social actors (n=34) interacting within the initial professional development (IPD) assessment environment of trainee accountants are explored and interpreted. The experiences of social actors’ interactions with technology within the assessment environment are explored to reveal the ways in which technology impacts and shapes the interpretations of professional identity and successful performance within the assessment environment. In doing so, the findings show that mediation of technology in this context, is an emotive and sensory interaction, in which power relations are formed between agents within the assessment environment.
