Management Accounting

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodology combines expository methods and flipped classroom strategies for theoretical content delivery, along with problem-based learning approaches for the discussion and analysis of practical cases. The expository method facilitates the understanding of fundamental concepts, while active methods, coupled with an interrogative approach, engage students in activities that promote critical analysis and practical and theoretical application of knowledge. The flipped classroom approach is used occasionally to foster students’ independent preparation, encouraging a more participatory learning environment.
