Accounting undergraduates may find studying accounting rather challenging as there are many complex aspects in the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) that need to be understood, hence resulting in poor academic results achievements. Moreover, most of the current teaching pedagogy is still following the traditional methods which is not interesting at all to the Generation Z group of students. Game-based learning (GBL) or gamification seems to be a possible alternative to attract their attention. However, previous researches in similar theme suggested that due care must be taken in designing the GBL module as there are many factors that could affect the effectiveness of GBL upon academic performance. Therefore, this research is aimed to design the best-suited GBL for accounting undergraduates as an alternative method of learning by means of inductive content analysis. It is expected that the undergraduates' understanding in accounting subjects will be improved due to their ability to study at their own pace in a more fun and engaging way.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
