Abstract

The Faculty of Economics and Business Admini stration from the Complutense University of Madrid in order to adapt to the European Hi gher Education Area (EHEA) has redesigned the study plan and teaching has been restructured adding an extra hour for seminars. For the accounting subject, active seminars have been proposed. The aim of these seminars is twofold: first, for the teacher to implement an active te aching methodology and, second, to integrate the theoretical content of the subject to the real world business. Additionally teaching has been supported in a virtual learning environment. This paper presents the experience of three teachers teaching the subject of Financial Accounting in the first-year of the Economic s and Business Administration Degrees for the seminars. A survey has been designed to measure the students� perception and motivation towards these seminars. The results of the active seminars can be summa rized in a deeper understanding of the subject and greater motivation to the theoretical concepts. However, the student has received an increased workload in this subject comparing to the others.
