Nontechnical courses such as Management Control Systems are not precise disciplines. They<br>require students to probe for possible solutions from their own approaches by considering<br>divergent views. Accounting students might find it challenging to learn in the manner the<br>course requires as they tend to focus on accounting technical skills and expect an exact answer.<br>The situation is more exigent in the Indonesian learning context, as students in Indonesia have<br>the habit of obeying and learning by rote from lecturers. Therefore, it is pertinent to apply a<br>PBL method in this course to support students in constructing their thoughts. The second<br>objective of this paper is to determine students’ perceptions of the implementation of PBL in a<br>Management Control Systems course. The findings of this paper are that overall, students<br>perceive PBL positively. The factors contributing to their favorable response are group<br>discussions, self-study, and improved communication skills. Hence, PBL is an effective<br>teaching approach in a quiet and passive learning environment. PBL is also suitable to be<br>implemented in non-technical Accounting courses, such as Management Control Systems.</p>}, number={1}, journal={PalArch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology}, author={Rosaline Tandiono, Valentina Tohang}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={179 - 189} }
