Multiple Choice 4S (Significant, Same, Specific, Simultaneous) Application Exercise

Abstract

This strategy is used to teach an Organisational Management module to a second-year group of Accounting students, with approximately 40 students in the class. The 4S Application Exercise forms a core part of the Team Based Learning (TBL) cycle. Students who are in permanent diverse teams (4-6 members) firstly complete pre-reading before class, followed by in-class individual and team quizzes, before moving to focus on the application of the concepts studied to real business scenarios. The Multiple Choice 4S Application Exercises forms part of this final step and includes a structured format for the exercise focused on higher order critical thinking skills
