A team-teaching based approach to engage students
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of renewal undertaken in a large
undergraduate financial reporting subject.
Design/methodology/approach – The approach taken in the subject is one in which student
engagement is critical. Selected quantitative and qualitative data from university course and student
feedback surveys were used to assess the effectiveness of the renewal process.
Findings – The renewal process led to increased student engagement, and influenced student
learning by demonstrating the relevance of financial reporting regulation. Feedback was also positive
in relation to the level of resources, especially technological, provided in the subject.
Originality/value – Engaging with students is a critical task in any subject, but especially in a
technical accounting subject, as students may not necessarily see the value in the content. This article
reveals possibilities for academics to engage with their students and for their students to engage with
the subject material.
