Abstract

As an educational concept based on project-based learning and interdisciplinary learning, STEM is highly compatible with the needs of the current curriculum reform in colleges and universities. Due to the many deficiencies in the current teaching of accounting courses in colleges and universities, this article explores the optimization of teaching design based on the STEM educational concept, taking "Management Accounting Practice" as an example. On the one hand, it analyzes the connotations of various ability elements of STEM and studies how they can be integrated into and optimize the teaching content of management accounting practice respectively. On the other hand, it uses the project teaching method to construct a "small project & large project" teaching model of management accounting, stimulating students' interdisciplinary comprehensive abilities through sufficient practical exercises and improving teaching quality.
