Abstract

In order to be competitive in a rapidly moving global economy, a greater proportion of the population will need to be well qualified and possess higher-level skills with the aim of increasing productivity and innovation to drive the nation forward. To meet these demands participation targets should be widened to ensure that 20% of undergraduate enrolments are from low socio-economic status (LSES) and first in family (FiF) backgrounds to ensure they have equal opportunity to a higher education. Traditional modes of delivering content are passive, limiting interaction between students and academic staff, which is compounded in the accounting discipline where students find the content challenging. This paper reflects on the adoption of a flipped classroom as an activity to promote student engagement and active learning over a five-year period. Flipped classrooms in conjunction with a curriculum redesign can improve success rates and retention in first year University programs.
