In higher education, competition-based learning model is one of the approaches used by educators to overcome students’ deficiencies in their learning acquisition. Using the competition-based learning model, a specific learning activity was conducted via the preparation of mind mapping video for the course of Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting 2 on Corporate Social Responsibility topic. The study aimed to examine the perception on using the competition-based learning winning video as a pedagogical tool in the accounting course. The questionnaire was specifically developed and distributed to all 90 students from the Bachelor of Accountancy Program, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Sarawak Branch, who underwent the course in Semester September 2017. Overall, the respondents and participants agreed that the winning video was effective for learning in an accounting course. Moreover, this active and independent learning promotes a self-directed and regulated learning system among students. Learning from winning video is possible with the advanced technology support. The limitations and future research opportunities are also provided in this paper.
