It indicates where you are expected to have underpinning knowledge and where it would be useful to review previous learning before undertaking study.  \nMain capabilities  \nThe aim of the syllabus is broken down into several main capabilities which divide the syllabus and study guide into discrete sections.  \nRelational diagram of the main capabilities  \nThis diagram illustrates the flows and links between the main capabilities (sections) of the syllabus and should be used as an aid to planning teaching and learning in a structured way.  \nSyllabus rationale  \nThis is a narrative explaining how the syllabus is structured and how the main capabilities are linked. The rationale also explains in further detail what the examination intends to assess and why.  \nDetailed syllabus  \nThis shows the breakdown of the main capabilities (sections) of the syllabus into subject areas. This is the blueprint for the detailed study guide.  \nApproach to examining the syllabus  \nThis section briefly explains the structure of the examination and how it is assessed.  \nStudy Guide  \nThis is the main document that students, education and content providers should use as the basis of their studies, instruction and materials. Examinations will be based on the detail of the study guide which comprehensively identifies what could be assessed in any examination session. The study guide is a precise reflection and breakdown of the syllabus. It is divided into sections based on the main capabilities identified in the syllabus. These sections are divided into subject areas which relate to the sub-capabilities included in the detailed syllabus. Subject areas are broken down into sub-headings which describe the detailed outcomes that could be assessed in examinations. These outcomes are described using verbs indicating what exams may require students to demonstrate, and the broad intellectual level at which these may need to be demonstrated (*see intellectual levels below) .  \n© ACCA 2018-2019 All rights reserved.  \nStrategic Business Leader (SBL)  \nIntellectual Levels  \nThe syllabus is designed to progressively broaden and deepen the knowledge, skills and professional values demonstrated by the student on their way through the qualification.  \nThe specific capabilities within the detailed syllabuses and study guides are assessed at one of three intellectual or cognitive levels:  \nLevel 1: Knowledge and  \ncomprehension  \nLevel 2: Application and analysis  \nLevel 3: Synthesis and evaluation  \nVery broadly, these intellectual levels  \nrelate to the three cognitive levels at which the Applied Knowledge, the Applied Skills and the Strategic Professional exams are assessed.  \nEach subject area in the detailed study guide included in this document is given a 1, 2, or 3 superscript, denoting intellectual level, marked at the end of each relevant line. This gives an indication of the intellectual depth at which an area could be assessed within the examination. However, while level 1 broadly equates with Applied Knowledge , level 2 equates to Applied Skills level 3 to Strategic Professional , some lower level skills can continue tobe assessed as the student progresses through each level. This reflects that at each stage of study there will be a requirement to broaden, as well as deepen capabilities. It is also possible that occasionally some higher level capabilities may be assessed at lower levels.  \nLearning Hours and Education Rec","cbCaijidQo3CVv4P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijidQo3CVv4P","pdf",230065,25,"English","# Overall aim of the syllabus\n## Relational diagram linking SBL with other ACCA exams\n# Main capabilities\n## Relational diagram of the main capabilities\n# Syllabus rationale\n# Detailed syllabus\n# Approach to examining the syllabus\n# Study Guide\n## Intellectual Levels\n## Learning Hours and Education Recognition\n# Guide to ACCA\n## Examination Structure","[{\"question\":\"What is the overall aim of the Strategic Business Leader (SBL) syllabus?\",\"answer\":\"It explains the broad objective of the syllabus and indicates the capabilities to be developed through the paper.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document structure the syllabus and study guide?\",\"answer\":\"It breaks the syllabus into main capabilities, then into discrete sections and subject areas, which are further divided into sub-headings describing detailed assessable outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What do intellectual levels 1 to 3 mean for subject areas?\",\"answer\":\"The syllabus assigns each subject area an intellectual/cognitive level: Level 1 (knowledge and comprehension), Level 2 (application and analysis), and Level 3 (synthesis and evaluation), indicating assessment depth in exams.\"}]","Strategic Business Leader (SBL) - Syllabus and study guide - overall structure | PDF",63]
