Abstract
This paper reports on the use of an experiential learning activity designed to provide an imporvement in student comprehension of management accounting concepts. The students who participated in the activity (treatment group) performed better, on average, than the control group. The findings were based on the comparison between the groups regarding performance in a mid-semester test and a final exam question. The results suggest that the experiential learning activity offers an important alternative teaching tool with the potential to enhance learning outcomes.
