Uma proposta de wiki para aprendizagem colaborativa no curso de Ciências Contábeis

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present an experience report on the adoption of a Wiki in the teaching and learning process of the undergraduate Accountancy course. To this end, a qualitative case study was carried out at the Federal University of Sergipe, Itabaiana campus. The data was produced using reports extracted from the website created, which was called “Accounting Wiki”. In addition, researchers carried out questionnaires with the students and interviews with one of the lecturers. The results of these consultations were analysed using descriptive statistics and Discourse Textual Analysis. Results show that students interacted well with the website, considering it easy to use, with a suitable and comfortable interface, as well as being useful mainly for revising content. The lecturer, in turn, saw a long-term perspective for the website, recognising the need for the project and identifying the Accounting Wiki as an excellent opportunity to foster collaboration between students and lecturers. The study contributes to lecturers in the undergraduate Accounting course, reflecting on the possibility of appropriating Digital Information and Communication Technologies in their pedagogical process, seeking to adapt existing experiences to their contexts, with the aim of training accounting professionals who are able to deal with contemporary demands that increasingly require the binomial autonomy-collaboration in continuous learning.
