Teaching internal control through active learning

Why is plickers a relevant pedagogy alternative for accounting educators? A reflection on distinct types of student response systems (SRS)

“…Active learning is frequently characterized as the usage of instructional methods that actively engage students in the learning process, opposing the traditional education (GAINOR, BLINE;ZHENG, 2014;SULLIVAN, 2009). Although this term has been used more intuitively than consensually (BONWELL; EISON, 1991), a key point is the predominance of a perspective that promotes changes in the conventional ways of transmitting content, such as a unilateral communication.…”

“…According to Gainor et al (2014), current accounting students tend to prefer engaging learning processes with rapid development rather than those that are passive. Literature reviews on SRS show that this technology can promote higher student attention, involvement, interactivity among colleagues, and participation in classes (FIES;MARSHALL, 2006;KAY;LESAGE, 2009;RANA et al, 2016).…”

Professor, Can I Use my Mobile Phone? A Study on the Use of the Student Response System (SRS) in the Educational Process of Accounting Students

Gainor et al (2014) reportam que os atuais estudantes de Ciências Contábeis tendem a preferir processos de ensino--aprendizagem que avançam com maior rapidez e que são envolventes, ao passo que técnicas tradicionais, como comunicação unilateral (professor-alunos), vêm decrescendo de importância. Nesse contexto, sustentada pela aprendizagem ativa, o SRE pode ser importante para promover maior interação e envolvimento dos discentes, ao mesmo tempo que representa um recurso pedagógico moderno compatível com o perfil das novas gerações.…”

A Model to Assess Efficiency in e-Training for Significant Learning (e-TSL)

“…[11]. iv) Rubrics for assessment with which you can judge the performance of students in active learning as in the case of "internal monitoring Teaching through active learning" [12]. v) Actions to build Web 2.0 tools, blogs in which students "…were informed that their blogs and responses to questionnaire items would not only be used for assessment and evaluation purposes at the course and school levels but might also be used for publication and knowledge sharing purposes."…”
