QUESTION ?
• Does enterprise = entrepreneurship ?– Is the goal of NCEA Business Studies to create
entrepreneurs?– If so, is that a responsible goal for those who will
fail – and most will on the road to success.– “For the next trick, I’ll need a volunteer”

Experiential Learning
• Experiencing – working with knowledge to solve problems/ create new understandings.
( resources provided/ problems set)• Reflecting on experience – creating memory.• Generalising learning –making predictions.• Transfer of learning to new situations.
Completion
Time
Task oriented path – early wins / chaos later / crash, burn, die.
‘Normal’ path –straight line expectation /on time/ on budget
People oriented path – early chaos / later wins / faster, higher, stronger,
The grey area
unofficial view• Business is about people.• Relationships count above all else.• Implications for classroom.
– Group composition is important as it parallels/mimics the employment decision.
– Know your students.– Get them to know each other.– Differentiated ability/learning opportunities lead
to leaders and followers.– BEST groups are mixed ability
unofficial view
• Student centred learning.• NOT ‘group’ work• NOT ‘time out’• IS a NEW philosophy of classroom
management in which teachers make life easier for themselves – and inspire, empower their students.
unofficial view
• NZC plus NCEA business Studies is a license to – Experiment - you have to take risks for the sake of
the student.– Transfer control – from yourself to the students.– Ignore outcomes – trust the most powerful learning
machines on the planet.– University qualifications are rapidly declining in value.– Personal dispositions, self awareness, learning ability
are the key to the future.
