TIE-aligned, ready to download and personalise for your school term.
This Form One Business Studies scheme of work follows the competence-based planning format set out by the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) for the new curriculum. It is a starting point: add your school name and term dates, and adjust pacing for holidays and school events before submitting it to your head of department.
Every row of the scheme carries the same column set: Main Competence, Specific Competence, Learning Activities, Specific Activities, Month, Week, Periods, Reference, Teaching and Learning Methods, Teaching and Learning Resources, Assessment Tools and Remarks. The Remarks column is used for examination dates and school breaks.
Business Studies is planned mostly at 1 period per week for the introductory unit, rising to 2 periods per week once the entrepreneurship and sole proprietorship units begin.
Methods include scenario-based learning, jigsaw puzzle, brainstorming, resource persons, skills labs, project activities, follow-up projects, field trips and role play. Resources include online and offline sources, business club guidelines, and video clips showing business activities. Assessment combines quizzes, tests, questions and answers, project work and group discussions.
