Impact of Changes in Methods of Teaching and Learning Accounting
Abstract
The present study will bring into discussion possible ways of changing the approach of teaching and learning in the current developing academic environment on a case of 1st year students. We are examining the appropriate ways of adapting and improving the teaching accounting methodology. This need for change emerges from several of reasons, among which:
- increased demand of students, which are more involved and participative in classes;
- changed methods of teaching;
- changed educational circumstances and a more competitive environment for teachers;
- increased amount of resources and materials available for teachers and students.
