Aprendizagem baseada em problemas para os cursos de ciências contábeis: desafios e oportunidades de sua adoção
| Summary: | The goal of this study is to understand difficulties and advantages faced by accounting faculty staff who adopted PBL in the classroom. To attain this goal, we developed a qualitative research based on interviews with specialists. The findings showed the main difficulties arise from many factors since students’ educational background and previous experience up to extra time and effort demanded from teachers to plan the class and to prepare instructional materials. On the other hand, reported benefits include the development of research skills, teamwork, responsibility taking with respect to self-learning, and exposure to a simulated work environment. We concluded that the adoption of PBL brings benefits to students and promotes an alignment between academic education and professional market demands. |
