Explanatory note 2

Contexts for learning

The context for learning is a suitable business (which has export potential in a specified offshore market) connected to the student’s life and community. (See the notes on making connections with students’ lives on page 7, which explain why using such a context is good practice). Students are required to undertake all aspects of an investigation, which typically includes planning the research, consulting internationally, collecting evidence, comprehensively evaluating the export potential and integrating business knowledge.

It is possible to combine this with AS3.6. However, teachers should be aware of potential high stakes involved in combining standards.

Business knowledge, concepts, and content

This achievement standard requires that students demonstrate understanding of the following business knowledge, concepts, and content (in no particular order):

  • the export process (cultural intelligence, transport, distribution, finance, intellectual property, compliance, jurisdictions, trade agreements, exchange rates)
