Abstract

This paper aims to study teaching cases reported by a professor of Accounting Sciences. To do so, it carried out an exploratory qualitative approach. The data was collected in interviews with three teachers from public higher education institutions in Southeast Brazil, and was analyzed through content analysis method. The knowledge was identified in the case study "How to facilitate the learning of Cost Accounting for students who did not choose the Accounting career?", in witch is used: active methodologies; professional ethics; knowledge of the specific content and discipline; respect for student opinion; planning and evaluation of learning; reflection on teaching practice; background of contents; and theoretical-practical relation. The knowledge we can identify in the teaching case: "Formative assessment of the student in a constructive perspective" is about: evaluation of learning in the identification of advantages and difficulties of students and it's reflection in teaching practice; ethics and academic honesty; usage of tools and evaluation criteria for learning; new technologies in education; research of teaching practice; encouraging ethics and positive attitudes in students; and the use of reflection on teaching practice. The knowledge identified in the other teaching case called "Evaluation as an opportunity to develop professional ethics", is: use of ethics in teaching; academic honesty; encouragement of positive attitudes in students; and reflection on the teaching practice. We highlight the common knowledge of the three teaching cases: a) confronting ethical dilemmas in teaching; b) reflection on the teaching practice; c) use of evaluation to develop academic honesty, learning the contents and valuing the accounting profession. It is concluded that the identified knowledge comes from the knowledge of the discipline, the classroom practice, the institution of education where the teachers work, the coexistence with the peers and with the students, as well as of the personal, professional and academic trajectory experienced by teachers until then.
