Flipped classroom with experiential learning in a tax course

Chapter 12 in Flipping the Classroom with Experiential and Community-Engaged Learning in Business, 2025, pp 192-208 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Accounting, finance, and taxation are often taught through traditional lectures and technical exercises, which involve learning and applying the principles or “rules” to answer questions. With so much technical content to cover, potentially large cohorts, and often with added pressures of external accreditation, it is understandable that academics may consider this the most efficient way to impart knowledge to students. However, is this the best use of academics’ and students’ precious time together? How does this help students develop the skills they need to succeed in a professional accounting/finance/taxation career? This chapter will explain how flipped classroom (FC) and experiential learning (EL) techniques have transformed the learning environment in a UK undergraduate taxation module. It will also discuss practical steps to make fundamental (and small) changes to module learning and assessment design.
