20 Progression from Relevant Areas of Learning Business Studies is not an Area of Learning or subject strand at Key Stage 3, but aspects of the following subjects in related areas may provide relevant experience for future learning in Business Studies, for example: Mathematics and Numeracy: Mathematics with Financial Capability Pupils should have opportunities in Mathematics and Numeracy: Mathematics with Financial Capability to develop: knowledge and understanding of: - Number ; - Algebra; - Shape, Space and Measures; and - Handling Data; knowledge and understanding of personal finance issues and skills to enable competent and responsible financial decision making; the application of mathematical skills to real life and work situations. Learning for Life and Work: Employability Work in the Local and Global Economy Pupils should have opportunities to: describe different types of work and investigate the range of employment in the local area, including any changes in employment trends, taking account of the implications for career planning; investigate the local impact of the global market; investigate how technology is affecting life and work; investigate how an employer might deal with issues affecting work; investigate how environmental considerations are affecting work and work practices; and investigate how work organisations contribute to the community. 20

Relevance of Learning to Everyday Life and Work The revised specification contains relevant and up to date content that reflects changes in the way the economy and businesses operate in a local, national and global context. The introduction of content to explore business sizes such as SMEs, factors impacting business location and the role of procurement brings in more updated and industryrelevant material. The revised specification will also provide students who choose to enter employment on completion of GCSE with useful skills and knowledge. They will have an understanding of the functions and activities of business departments such as finance and human resources. They will also have research, communication and numeracy skills applied to a business context, all of which are key employability skills. 21
22 F. Progression to GCE In the new GCSE specification much of the content and learning outcomes create the foundation for more in-depth analysis and evaluation at GCE. The following content areas are explored and evaluated in more depth at GCE, therefore students wishing to progress will have a familiarity with the terms and concepts: Marketing mix; Accounting ratios; Final Accounts; Motivation theory; Business growth; E-Business; Market Research; Customer Care; Health and Safety; Quality Assurance; and Stakeholders. In addition, the research and context of the controlled assessment task will help candidates in preparing for report writing tasks, and provide individual and group learning activities which will also be useful at GCE. The task will allow students to develop their AO2 application skills as they apply their knowledge to a business - essential skills required for GCE. 22
23 G. Support The range of support provided by CCEA includes: Past papers; Mark schemes; Chief Examiner s report; Principal Moderator s report; Guidance on progression from Key Stage 3; Schemes of work; Centre support visits; Support days for teachers; Agreement trials; Controlled assessment guidance for teachers and candidates; Resource list; and Exemplification of examination performance.
