A adoção de ferramentas digitais nos cursos de ciências contábeis da Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais: uma adequação aos novos rumos a profissão

Abstract

This article deals with the use of digital tools by professors with a degree in Accounting Sciences who work in the Accounting Sciences course at the Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais (UEMG — acronym in Portuguese) (Minas Gerais State University). The use of digital devices has been increasing every year, so this article sought to know which tools are used by accountants in the Accounting course. Starting from the bibliographical research in books and periodicals for the elaboration of the theoretical reference, the field research was chosen as a form of work and the survey was used for the elaboration of a questionnaire and the achievement of the research data with the chosen sample. The data show that professors use a large volume of digital tools, but when they need an internet connection, it is not used in classes due to the inability of the university to provide devices that allow a connection that meets the activities of professors. It was concluded that teachers see digital tools as allies in the teaching of Accounting Sciences, as they are able to improve teaching didactics, as well as reduce the distance between teacher and student while preparing the graduate for a market increasingly computerized work.
