Análise qualitativa da percepção dos discentes sobre o uso de um jogo educativo para o ensino de história da contabilidade

Abstract

There are technological resources that teachers can use in the classroom, and these resources contribute to attract the attention and the interest of students, improving the teaching/learning process. Currently, among the teaching options for the Accounting History course, there is available the Deborah Game, which is an online and free game developed at the Lab of Technology Education in Accounting (GETC/FEA/USP), headed by Professor Edgard Cornacchione. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the undergraduate accounting students about the use of the Deborah Game in the Accounting History course. In order to do that, we develop a qualitative research through the application of semi-structured interviews. The results indicated the acceptance and approval of the students regarding the usage of a technological resource in the teaching-learning process. Moreover, the results indicate that the course became more pleasant with the implementation of a tool that is different from the ordinary ones.
