The growing discrepancy between the supply and demand of new accounting professionals underscores an urgent need for reform in the educational paradigms within higher education accounting programs. This paper introduces a comprehensive proposal for educational reform in accounting at the collegiate level, using ‘A school’ as a pilot site for our experimental teaching reform. Central to our methodology is the design of a multi-source data mining process, utilizing characteristics of educational information data. Employing the K-means clustering algorithm as a foundation, we further develop a Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm to evaluate the impact of these pedagogical reforms.
