Connecting Economics Objectives to the AKH Factory Field Trip

On the 3rd of November 2022, the students of IBDP in AusIS went to the AKH factory in Savar to gain field work for many selected subjects. There was a lot of data gathered in the field trip especially for Economics, Business Management, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, English and Mathematics.

In Economics, we are currently studying microeconomics and this field trip was excellent because the main focus in microeconomics is work in a single person or firm and visiting a huge factory fit directly into that category.

With the amount of information that we were given to take in about pricing and quantity, we were given a questionnaire to fill out by our Economics facilitator that gave us the idea to explore the factors of production in the factory. Factors of production is an integral part in microeconomics as it determines the quantity produced and the price that will be set for the product. The four factors of production are Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship and we were able to identify each of these with the help of the very lovely staff and tour guides.

Because of this field trip, there was a lot of understanding of the concept of microeconomics. Since microeconomics is such an important topic this semester for the students of DP 1, we should be expecting great results in the semester final. All the best!

Inquiry on Smart Farming: Designing a Greener Tomorrow

On the 2 nd week of November, IB DP Year 1 students have come together to work in an interdisciplinary project regarding sustainable agriculture practices. The collaboration was done between the Group 3 subjects: Digital Society, Economics, Business Management and Environmental Systems and Societies. The students worked hard to conduct research and find real world examples and create different presentations regarding the various prospects of sustainable agriculture and its advancements.

TOK Presentation

On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition. For the practice session, we did not do the full run through of the exhibition. For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator. This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose. We can see if we are comfortable with the object and are good at explaining the prompt or theme. The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
