Evaluating, concluding and decision-making

Content Descriptor

develop a response to an economic and business issue, identifying potential costs and benefits

Elaborations

  • • developing a response to an issue by combining known knowledge with new ideas; for example, when purchasing a mobile phone, use the product statement and personal budget to identify benefits and costs
  • • identifying and describing reasons that inform the response to an issue; for example, the reasons for using recyclable materials in packaging as a way to support sustainable use of economic resources to meet needs and wants into the future
  • • identifying the potential costs and benefits of a decision; for example, deciding whether to work part-time involves identifying benefits such as earning money and recognising costs such as time on the weekend devoted to travelling to and from work
  • • explaining how making an economic and business decision involves selecting one alternative over another; for example, to satisfy a particular want, a selection of goods or services is preferred or purchased over another

By the end of Year 7, students describe how decisions are made to allocate limited resources to individuals and communities in an economy. They describe the reasons businesses exist and types of businesses, and identify how entrepreneurial characteristics contribute to the success of a business. They describe the reasons individuals choose to work, how they may derive an income and the types of work that exist. Students identify the rights and responsibilities of individuals and businesses in terms of products and services. Students develop questions to investigate an economic and business issue. They locate, select and organise data and information from sources. They interpret information and data to identify economic and business issues, trends or effects. They develop a response and identify potential costs and benefits. Students use economic and business knowledge, concepts, terms and sources to create descriptions and explanations.
