摘要：A growing body of literature on undergraduate teaching and learning indicatesthat lecturers should constantly amend their teaching practices and pedagogicalframework. Responses from the business world and the accounting professionindicate that lecturers should incorporate workplace skills, as well as the practicalapplication of theory in their teaching practices. Teaching and learning researchacross disciplines suggests that the use of games in classrooms could not onlyaddress the skills required in practice, but also enhance students’ motivation tolearn. The objective of this paper was to develop a table-top board game foraccounting students to address the skills they require in the workplace, but also toapply theoretical concepts learnt by playing the game in order to motivate studentsto deepen their learning. This paper was designed as a locally bound case study.Accounting students, as research participants, played the custom-made table-topboard game and later, by means of a questionnaire, reflected that they feltmotivated to learn subject matter through playing the game. The game alsoinspired them to apply the theory they previously learnt in order to progress in andbe successful in the game. The game was also conducive to developing other softskills. The authors postulate that the use of a board game could change the waystudents learn, how students and lecturers interact with one another, as well ashow lecturers adapt their approach to teaching and learning. The researchindicates that using a board game for accountancy education could contributetowards the redesign of students’ classroom experiences.
