For this purpose, a descriptive-exploratory methodology with a mixed approach was used, according to the monitoring of activities, the instruments were divided for the stages of the research: for the first part of collection, the expertise of teachers related to the accounting area was verified, who made sure to provide valuable information related to the study variables through an interview, in addition to the second stage, the planned survey was carried out on second-year technical baccalaureate accounting students, whose information was anonymous and through the virtual platform Google Forms. After administering the instruments, an excellent percentage scale was observed for each item evaluated, highlighting the future implementation of this tool in the pedagogical context to improve student performance and motivation. In conclusion, the topic addressed proved to be an effective and promising strategy, as data analysis revealed that both teachers and students are willing to change the traditional educational model, from the recognition of tools to the management of recreational spaces and, consequently, the integration of new learning methods that promote the development of didactic competencies aligned with the national curriculum.
