Relato de experiência da aplicação de uma WebQuest na disciplina de Contabilidade Comercial

Abstract

Objective: To present an experience report regarding the WebQuest strategy adopted in the Commercial Accounting course of an undergraduate program in Accountancy. Method: This study was conducted in the Commercial Accounting course of the Accountancy program at the Federal University of Sergipe at Itabaiana. WebQuest was used to address “Taxes: why and what for?” and the students were asked to develop a podcast on the subject. Results: The students were satisfied with the interaction WebQuest provided, considering its user-friendly structure. Additionally, the students considered that the activity was challenging and exciting and promoted creativity. The main difficulty concerned audio editing though. This matter was verified when the professor who proposed WebQuest found that most groups did not perform this aspect appropriately for a podcast.Contributions: This study may encourage other professors to adopt this strategy in their pedagogical practice, selecting teaching-learning strategies more aligned with modern cognitive demands.
