WIGAN & LEIGH COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT B BUSINESS MATHS Many students need to undertake paid work in order to be able to continue their studies but the effects of working during term time brings both benefits and disadvantages to academic progress. Your assignment explores the perception of students on the part-time jobs. 1. You have to collect data from 50 students. 50% data is collected from students those are working part-time and 50% from students those are not working part-time. But all of these students are pursuing a professional programme.

2. Your assignment should explore the perception of students from both groups and also to look into the benefits and the challenges of students working part-time. You will have to create a questionnaire which preferably highlights these options among those 50 students.

3. Working longer hours may increase the probability that students perceive a negative effect on academic performance. Positive effects include the acquisition of transferable skills, enhanced employability, increased confidence in the world of work, and the improvement of organizational and time management skills. You have to select one of the effects and find out various statistical inferences like measures of central tendencies, measures of dispersion, correlation and regression coefficients.

4. Finally, you have to represent your findings graphically. Formulate a hypothesis and submit your findings with the help of your study conducted.

Answer 2Now I am explaining the perceptions of the students from both the groups of working and nonworking students and also there benefit and challenges. Now its 21st century the world is modernized day after day, with this population growth and industries are increasing rapidly, new technology, research today developed so much. With this there is lot of educational institute, professional or management colleges increases. Universities are being challenged to provide high quality education that is accessible and delivered in flexible ways. Such challenges must be met in the face of increased global competition and the pressure of diminishing resources. Group work has long been accepted as an effective learning strategy because it provides opportunities for students to negotiate meaning and manipulate ideas with others and reflect upon their learning. AIM OF THE STUDY The investigation was concerned with the group work experiences of students in contexts where they were given specific assignments to complete for assessment, meeting as small groups, faceto-face, to collaborate on the task. The following questions were used as the basis for exploring student experiences in group work settings in order to gain insight into which aspects of group work led to positive perceptions, and which were viewed negatively. Such insight could guide educators in constructing, monitoring and assessing group work tasks. The students that working part time Evidence suggests that the majority of the part-time jobs available to students are broadly classifiable as within the service sector, including hotels, hospitality and catering, other (that is, fast) food and beverage outlets, retailing, and, in the summer months, tourism and visitor attractions, sporting venues and leisure events. Indeed, over 65 per cent of student employment is concentrated in hospitality and retail alone (TUC, 2006). As Lucas (2004) notes, in the hospitality and tourism workplaces, this actualization of the workforce has become a key strategic approach to human resource planning. The paid work vs. study skills relationship: The importance of employability skills not related to specific subject knowledge has been highlighted in studies such as the Dearing Report (1997) as an important area for consideration in relation to employability. Indeed, this has been reinforced by Harvey et al. (1997), who identified: The need for developing a range of personal and intellectual attributes beyond specific expertise in a disciplinary field is becoming increasingly important and is likely to be more pressing in the working world of the 21st century (1997: 5). This research highlighted that employers require adaptive and flexible recruits who can rapidly integrate into the company and exhibit a range of interpersonal and social skills alongside their educational attainments.

Answer 3Employability skills: While consensus exists among key stakeholders about the importance of employability, there is still debate as to how employability skills are best embedded within the curriculum (Nield and Graves, 2006). Key work defining employability skills from Knight and Yorke regards employability as a set of achievements skills, understandings and personal attributes that make graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefit themselves, the community and the economy

Problems faced Part-time work and hours for study. The study also explored the relationship between, and impact of, part-time working and fulltime study in two areas. First, the impact that part-time employment had on full-time study was examined; and second the number of hours students studied outside lectures and seminars was discussed. Seventy-three per cent of respondents felt that their part-time work had indeed impacted on their studies. This impact was not always negative, as the following list of most likely impacts reported by students illustrates:

I feel more financially secure My hours for study are reduced I feel too tired to study I feel my knowledge of the subject area has increased My personal feelings of stress have increased I have trouble balancing work and study My motivation to study is reduced My working hours conflict with class participation.

Answer 4Financial security was an obvious issue for students, and part-time working eased this stressor. Likewise, knowledge and skill development was a positive element. However, the reduction in time for study and being tired through balancing employment and study commitments were the trade-off for this group. An interesting issue raised by the study is in relation to the hours of study students working part time reported in comparison to their non-employee counterparts. When asked how many hours per week they studied, not including lectures and seminars, the students in part-time employment were more likely to be studying harder. The results can be found in Table -

Conclusions: This paper has presented the findings of a study into the paid employment experiences of students enrolled onto masters degree programmed in management It has also explored the employability skills gained or sought through paid employment and how these might complement or vary away from those career/employability skills embedded within their curriculum. The study highlighted the problem that, although research into employability skills and their development among graduates of hospitality and tourism management programmes is beginning, it is patchy and almost exclusively related to undergraduate programmes and skills development.
