Abstract

This study describes an experience carried out at a university that combines problem-based learning and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The activity pursues to deepen the learning of a subject with complex and singular content, taking as a reference the study of real cases. Specifically, the aim is to develop knowledge about the different sectoral accounting standards that are applied in the preparation of companies' financial information. The student checks for himself the usefulness of accounting knowledge to understand the financial situation of real companies. The results show a generalized improvement in student motivation and in results obtained in the subject. It demonstrates how in complex subjects that are less attractive to students active methodologies can be used to connect with them. They learn to take advantage of the resources offered by ICT to access information of great relevance in the business world.
