Flipped v’s traditional teaching perspectives in a first year accounting unit: an action research study

Abstract: With the need to move accounting students towards deeper learning approaches and understandings, this first cycle of an action research study sought to determine the student's perspective of the flipped learning approach.

“…Our findings suggest that students did not perceive the change in teaching methodology as a hindrance but rather as a benefit.

“…In recent years, action research has featured more prominently in accounting education, with other researchers guiding as to how it can be effectively applied (Helfaya, 2019;Ingersoll Abbott & Palatnik, 2018;Williams et al, 2019). In this study, action research was considered an appropriate method insofar as the researcher as well as the institution where the study was conducted are new to the online education milieu.…”
