Using Board Games to Engage Non-Interested Students in Accounting Classes
Damron, Kelly
Journal of Instructional Research, v8 n2 p93-96 2019
A board game is used in financial accounting courses as a means to engage students actively in their own learning. Since many students are intimidated by accounting or find the topic uninteresting, the use of games, especially a board game, encourages them to engage actively. After playing the board game, the students in the classroom appreciate a better connection between the accounting topics they learned and how to use accounting in their professional or personal lives. This activity requires the faculty member to run an organized classroom and ensure students are completing the activity as directed.
