Pesquisas experimentais aplicadas à educação contábil: panorama atual e oportunidades no cenário brasileiro.

Scientific studies that adopt the experimental method in the accounting area, in brazil, are uncommon. In the field of accounting education, they are even less frequent. In this sense, the aim of the study was to describe, based on a narrative review of the specifically selected literature, national and international studies in the field of accounting education using an experimental and quasi-experimental method and, additionally, to present research opportunities in this field with the use of the method. Methodologically, the study has a bibliographic character. After surveying procedures with accounting journals, 7 national and 76 international papers were obtained, whose methodology used was experiment or quasi-experiment. As a result, the objectives of the studies, national and international, are similar, with a focus on verifying the effects of different methodologies on student performance and satisfaction. However, the main difference lies in the number of studies, which was higher in the international context, and resulted in a wide array of topics studied. The main contribution of the study is to demonstrate opportunities for using experiments to promote improvements in teaching, learning, professor training and institutional policies.
