A-level Theme 1: Introduction to Markets and Market Failure >> Nature of economics >> How markets work >> Market failure >> Government intervention Theme 2: The UK Economy – Performance and Policies >> Measures of Economic Performance >> Aggregate demand >> Aggregate supply >> National income >> Economic growth >> Macroeconomic objectives and policy. Theme 3: Business Behaviour and the Labour Market >> Business Growth >> Business objectives >> Revenues, costs and profits >> Market structures >> Labour market >> Government intervention. Theme 4: A Global Perspective >> International economics >> Poverty and inequality >> Emerging and developing economies >> The financial sector >> Role of the state in the macroeconomy The first consideration is that Economics is a “living subject” which is subject to constant change. The teaching style must reflect these important characteristics. Thus students will: >> Study texts and theory >> Extensively use case studies >> Be kept constantly up to date with newspapers >> Be encouraged to visit places of current interest e.g. banks, industrial locations >> Be assessed in a variety of ways e.g. essay writing, multiple choice and data response work. Thorough classwork and preparation for external assessment, key skills will be developed in communication, numeracy, IT, problem solving, working with others, planning and critical thinking. The nature of the subject means that students must keep up to date with current economic affairs, as well as develop an insight into a range of important markets within both the UK and the global economy. Students with A-level Economics have access to a wide range of possible career and higher education opportunities. You learn and use a variety of transferable skills throughout the course. These include: >> Collection and analysing economic information from different sources >> Development of written communication skills >> Development of problem solving and evaluation skills These skills are in great demand and are recognised by employers, universities and college as being of great value. Economics combines well with a range of Social Science and Humanities subjects to lead to University courses in such areas as Law, Business, Accounting, Politics, and of course, Economics. https://www.ashmoleacademy.org/_site/data/files/post16/1665D110BFBC2774CA4DFED150071DED.pdf#page=20
