FEATURES

The material has been arranged as closely as possible to the Achievement Standards without sacrificing sound pedagogy. Teachers may therefore work straight through the text and be confident that the course has a logical structure and flow. However, it is also possible to individualise schemes of work while using this course because chapters do not necessarily depend upon those that have gone before.

Emphasis is placed on the conceptual base of accounting and the illustration of concepts using practical examples, with a decision-making approach based on case studies maintained throughout.

The text is accompanied by a student workbook which provides the tasks, sufficient space to complete them and partially worked answers to the early problems in each set of exercises. This provides the maximum student interaction with the material immediately after it is introduced, thereby developing student confidence.

Research has shown that deep learning is enhanced by shortening the time between the introduction of new material and student interaction with this material. It is therefore important that students have an early opportunity to apply what they have learnt and gain mastery of it. The student workbook contains all the questions from the text together with answer space, following the format of the external examinations. It has been designed to enable students to experience early success with simple exercises by having these partially worked. This success gives students the confidence to progress through to more challenging examples on their own. Use of the workbook enables students to focus on concepts and procedures immediately without the necessity of learning a particular format by heart before they can begin. Over time, format becomes second nature as students develop a conceptual understanding of the purpose of each exercise. The use of workbooks also provides more time for students to interact with the subject matter itself and hence offers greater opportunity for them to master basic concepts through practice. It is suggested that students should not destroy pages when errors are made; rather than rewriting an entire question, a correction in a different coloured ink will often suffice. The student may then proceed to a new task which provides the opportunity to relearn the point which has been missed. The corrected exercises provide a focus for revision and a useful resource for independent study.
