Abstract: Collaborative teaching strategies that teachers use to enhance learning of accounting concepts were explored in schools located in the Pinetown education district in South Africa. The study employed a qualitative case study within the interpretivist paradigm. A purposive sample of five Grade 10 Accounting teachers from five secondary schools was selected to participate in the study. Individual semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were used to generate data that was analyzed through thematic analysis. The study found that accounting teachers emphasize the necessity of using diverse collaborative strategies to teach accounting concepts. A questioning approach to the teaching of accounting was used to ascertain learners’ experiences and prior knowledge. Infusing technology and group discussions were utilized to encourage learner involvement and participation in the teaching of accounting concepts. The study emphasizes the need for accounting teachers to strengthen learners’ understanding of concepts in Grade 10 by actively engaging them during the process of teaching and learning. Key Words:collaboraitve teaching, Accounting concepts, accounting, teaching strategy, discussions
