Las tecnologías de la información como herramienta de aprendizaje: el caso de proyecto Real-Conta

The assessment of competences defined in the current education system, as well as the promotion of the use of information technologies and digital competences, has led to changes in both learning and teaching. However, in many cases the competences acquired are far from those defined, and a change is needed to bring the reality of business closer to what is taught in the classroom. These changes are more noticeable in subjects with a high practical content, such as accounting, where traditional teaching methods are not sufficient for the acquisition of these competences. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to show how the implementation of accounting software, through a case study in accounting, improves both the acquired and the desired competences of students. To this end, this paper will show the steps taken to implement the "Real-Conta URJC Project", based on the use of an accounting software in the classroom, as well as the results obtained by the students through the assessment of rubrics on the knowledge acquired. This work has theoretical implications for the literature, but also practical implications for teachers.
