Abstract

The influences of globalization and technological innovations are increasingly present in the demands imposed by the labor market in relation to the accounting practice, which directly influences the teaching of the future professional of the area. This study analyzed how higher education accounting courses in the state of Rio de Janeiro are preparing students for the practice of the labor market on the view of coordinators and teachers. The present research can be classified as qualitative, according to the research perspective of the problem, exploratory and descriptive, as it aims to improve ideas and new instinctive advances. Data collection procedures were carried out through documentary analysis and interviews with teachers and coordinators of three Higher Education Institutions, on diverse campus, that were the highlight in the classification of ENADE 2015, CFC 2017 and University Ranking of Folha (RUF) in São Paulo. In relation to public IES selected, the results point to a distancing in terms of preparing to meet market demands, so that students are rigorously prepared to meet the theoretical requirements of tests and assessments, not necessarily focused on market service. To better meet the market demands, it is suggested the alignment of pedagogical projects / curricula with the use of mechanisms and projects that approximate the theory of practice in the classroom.
