Contradictions of Sustainability Teaching Accounting in Higher Education in Bulgaria

Abstract: The paper outlines contradictions of “sustainability teaching ac­counting” in which word game (shown in inverted commas) represents the focal role of the teacher. The problems of the Bulgarian education system are already known – increasing complexity and interconnectedness as re­sults of the breakdown of the value system of society – but not unique. Mere­ly, institutional sustainability discourse is reductionist and mechanistic. And one of the problems of sustainable education is how to empower students with self-reinforcing practice. Attitudes of students of accounting teaching in IU-Varna are presented to justify current teaching in accounting cours­es. Some generalized proposals are introduced because as greater the stu­dents are exposed to sustainable thinking and innovative technologies, bet­ter critical thinking and self-reinforced behavior will be articulated.
