Do students in accounting class where instructor usespause (experimental group), experience greater course and teachingsatisfaction compared to the students of (control group) where pausewas not utilized? The results of this study is quite staggering, asfindings indicate that in accounting class where instructor gave twoeight minute pauses during each ninety minute lecture, showedgreater student performance and satisfaction compared to controlgroup where pause procedure was not employed. Therefore, this studyprovides strong support for incorporating strategic pauses duringaccounting lectures to enhance student satisfaction and overall classperformance.
