Abstract:
This research aims to evaluate the implementation of Role Play Learning Model (RPLM) in achieving the course’s expected learning outcomes. This is an applied research using primary data collected through survey and observation. The population consists of 182 management accounting students in the 2nd semester of 2017/2018. This research uses census sampling. Of the total respondents surveyed, 95% returned their questionnaires. The questionnaire is developed by using five Linkert scales (5 for highly agree). The study reveals that students agree to implement RPLM on management accounting course. RPLM can improve students’ grades as none of them got D and E grades. The number of students who got C grade dropped from 17% to 4% while that of those who got A-, B+, B-, and C+ grades increase by 8%, 1%, 5%, and 8% consecutively. This proves that the implementation of RPLM can (1) build a good teamwork, (2) improve the understanding of learning materials, (3) increase the motivation of stude
nts, (4) build the self-confidence of students, (5) make students more innovative and creative, and (6) make teaching and learning process more interesting for the students.
