Directly linked to Oxford's bestselling DP Economics resources, this new Course Preparation resource thoroughly prepares students to meet the demands of the IB Diploma Programme Economics course. Ideal for students who have studied non-IB courses at pre-16 level, the text introduces learners to the IB approach, terminology, and skills. The focus of this resource is to build understanding of key concepts and skills, using DP content to introduce and articulate the bigger concepts and skills so that students are prepared for their Diploma course. Topics and concepts are introduced and covered using real-world examples, case studies, and applications. Content is formally scaffolded to help students build both skills and content knowledge, ensuring they are well prepared for their course and absorb DP knowledge more effectively. This book does not replace the course book content for DP but is in line with the latest DP syllabus updates, including assessment details, subject terminology, and syllabus content.
