Abstract

The advancement in science and technology and their application have yielded rich dividends in almost all matters related to the organization and management of the process and products of education. Educational technology is a fast-growing science committed to converting raw-hand teachers into really effective and efficient ones by equipping them with practical teaching skills and qualities of creative teaching. The increasing number of students failing at their first attempt to take the fundamental accounting course exam is pushing many representatives of academia to search for some new and innovative methods in teaching accounting, to look for and implement some “good” practices to meliorate students' learning capabilities. Teachers can no longer rely only on traditional teaching methods and expect accounting students, particularly those with no work experience, to stay engaged and involved. By combining traditional teaching methods with student-centric ones, an accounting lecture can be engaging and exciting.
