(2017) Approaches to learning and teaching Business & Economics: a toolkit for international teachers. ISBN: 9781316645949 I will also give suggested resources for anyone interested in accessing GCSE Business Studies offered by Pearson Edexcel and AQA exam boards. I will pass on what I have used, at one time or another, to teach Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies (0450). CAIE examinations were easier for my four home educated children to access, and I have been teaching or tutoring CAIE examination subjects in school or online since 2007. I have tutored students in Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies, so I am familiar with the syllabus content, varied teaching and learning strategies for individual students, and preparation for assessments (examinations). You don't need all the suggested resources, but it is useful to have one or two textbooks as a scaffold, alongside the syllabus or specification and online resources as needed. Teachers and students can choose the best resources to facilitate learning.

Additionally, each exam board will give suggested textbooks and other resources, some of which are endorsed (that is, they carefully follow the specific syllabus or specification). There are quite a few similarities between the courses, so read through the syllabus and the specification and choose carefully.Įach exam board uses a syllabus or specification to clearly state, among other things, the subject course content and methods of final assessments. That is, students can attain the qualification by examination only. There is no coursework component needed to complete IGCSE or GCSE Business Studies for AQA GCSE Business (8132), Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies (0450), or Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Business (9-1) (4BS1).
