Integrated and Assessed Skills Development – An Emerging Model

Abstract

Introduces the emerging model of skills development used in the Business Studies Department of the Manchester Metropolitan University and shares some of the concepts behind the model. Discusses three parts of the model in detail: taught, experiential and assessed elements and includes explanatory figures and diagrams. Also addresses the issues and questions raised when the model is looked at in relation to external factors which constantly change and impinge on the structure but not the concept. Pertinence derives from the level and amount of debate currently taking place in this field and the move towards competence‐based assessment propounded by such bodies as B/TEC, MCI and GNVQ.
