Gamificando no Ensino da Contabilidade: uma prática com o jogo Deborah

Abstract

. This work aimed to present a gamification practice using the Deborah game (Double Entry Bookeeping or Accounting History) with the purpose of promoting the engagement of 64 students in the subject of Accounting Theory in an undergraduate course in accounting sciences. It was found that although the students initially felt difficulties in advancing the stages of the game, they considered it as an auxiliary tool (67.7%) and determinant (33.3%) in the learning of the discipline and in the historical evolution of accounting.
