Sumario:This study mainly explored the effect of applying web-based collaborative learning instruction to the accounting curriculum on student's problem-solving attitudes in Technical Education. The research findings and proposed suggestions would serve as a reference for the development of accounting-related curricula and teaching strategies. To achieve the above objective, students of two classes in a technical College were selected as research subjects. Students in the first-year class of the 4-year hotel management program were assigned to the experimental group 1, which were treated with "web-based collaborative method", and students in the first-year class of the 4-year leisure recreation tourism program were assigned to the comparison group, with "the traditional lecturing method" adopted. The result showed that the difference between the two classes reached the significance level, and the problem-solving attitudes of the experimental 1 was significantly better than that of the comparison group.
