This study investigates whether the Problem-based Learning (PBL) teaching practice can effectively improve learning motivation and reduce learning anxiety of students when taking internal control and auditing courses. We also use interactive response system for recording the self-learning files in the class. The participants of this study included students enrolled in an Internal Controls and Auditing elective course at the department of Accounting, during the second semester of the academic year 2023. A non-randomized control group with pre- and post-tests was adopted as the experimental design and observation method to confirm that the introduction of PBL significantly enhanced students’ core competencies in identifying problems, determining risks, and proposing auditing and fraud prevention solutions, as well as their motivation to learn.
Based on the results of a paired samples T-test, this study examines students’ pre- and post-test levels of “learning motivation", "learning performance", and “learning interest". The results indicated that learning motivation and interest scores significantly improved in the post-tests compared to pre-test scores. Based on the development of feedback from a team of university instructors and experts, we would implement highly effective teaching practices that can improve teaching quality.
