Abstract:
Teaching approaches play a pivotal role in students' performance. Students' performance is not
only measured by throughput but also by the skills they possess to perform tasks relating to their disciplines.
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used in other disciplines such as medicine, science, and engineering.
However, the adoption thereof in accounting education is limited. With PBL, students are presented
with unstructured real-life problems and work in teams. The ability to ask further questions from the facilitator
and relevant additional information form part of PBL. This study found through a literature review that skills
associated with PBL that can benefit Auditing Students include problem-solving, teamwork, communication,
critical thinking, and self-regulated learning. It is recommended that Auditing educators consider implementing
PBL for Auditing Students to develop various skills and improve students' performance. PBL is recommended
as a pedagogical approach that equips students with various skills and can be used to enhance students'
performance
