TEACHING AND LEARNING PLA

ED350 - Economic
Introduction

Economic is a social science that study how human being used their scarce resource to satisfy their need and unlimited wants. In the school I
teach used the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) for form 5 and form 6. In this syllabus contain six
section including microeconomic and macroeconomic topics. The Cambridge IGCSE Economics curriculum promotes an understanding of
economic theory, terms, and concepts. Students examine the economies of other nations and their relationships with one another. They will learn
how to deal with basic economic facts and utilize economic analysis tools. Students can apply their economics knowledge to current economic
problems. This syllabus offers a foundation for students to explore their understanding to different part of the world.

In this paper will create a unit of plan for sixth former in one term, include the plan how to develop a literacy, numeracy and incorporate with
ICTs. In each lesson of the unit plan will identify the learning goal, topics, teacher strategy, resource include textbook and other reading, and the
different assessment that I am going to assess my sixth former. Additionally, will include a lesson plan for a one selected topic that going to
cover by Form six, then justify the decision made in preparing unit of work in related to references. Moreover, the E-portfolio will discuss the
evaluation and improvement the preparation of unit of work, feedbacks from students and the feedbacks that I am going to give to my students,
and how to improve my teaching program.
