Abstract

This paper aimed to validate the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) as an instrument for evaluation of the undergraduate accounting courses in Brazil. The study was a descriptive research through the application of the multivariate technique of confirmatory factor analysis. The sample, constituted by convenience, was 571 5th semester Brazilian students of the undergraduate accounting course. The internal consistency of the CEQ and the descriptive statistics showed that the quality was perceived by the students in approximately 70% of the CEQ variables. The results denoted that the CEQ has been validated in the Brazilian context. Those results indicated that the model was suitable to capture the quality of teaching and learning perceived by the students.
