This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a selection of 15 papers developed by participants in ICME 13 held in Hamburg , presenting insights from the latest research on the andragogy of adult and lifelong learning of mathematics. It also investigates open questions, such as numeracy and mathematics skills, social and psychological influences on learning environments, as well as economic and political demands. The chapters offer examples, while at the same time highlighting important directions for further research. The book is divided into four parts: The first section provides an overview on the concept of “numeracy”, and the second focuses on adult students who are learning mathematics; the third part presents a teachers’ focus and the final part covers overarching themes. The book is of interest to classroom teachers, university teacher educators, and professional development providers.

This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a synopsis of six emerging themes in adult mathematics/numeracy and a critical discussion of recent developments in terms of policies, provisions, and the emerging challenges, paradoxes and tensions. It also offers an extensive review of the literature adult mathematics education. Why do adults want to learn mathematics? Did they enjoy mathematics at school so much that they want to continue? NO! Most of these adults have to learn mathematics because it is part of a formal qualification they need, because their job demands the ability to apply mathematics, or because they need basic numeracy in their daily lives. Lastly, the authors discuss five potential strategies to promote lifelong learning of mathematics among adult learners.

Book excerpt: For a variety of historical, cultural, social, and/or economic reasons, adults may experience the need to continue their mathematics education in some form. In today's world, technology is playing an increasingly important role in educational situations, in the workplace, and at home. Technology plays a dual role in the teaching and learning of mathematics/numeracy for adults. Technology, electronic and otherwise, offers a medium to enhance learning in the form of tools such as rulers and compasses as well as software programs. However, these need to be made objects of learning in their own right before they can support higher level thinking. This book illustrates how electronic technologies offer new and improved levels of learning, especially in the field of mathematics.

Download or read book Towards Equity in Mathematics Education written by Helen Forgasz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers together twenty major chapters that tackle a variety of issues associated with equity in mathematics education along the dimensions of gender, culture, curriculum diversity, and matters of a biological nature. The pursuit of equity in mathematics education is an important concern in the history of the present. Since there is no doubt about the significant role of mathematics in almost every aspect of life, it means that all individuals regardless of sex, in any age range, and in whatever context need to be provided with an opportunity to become mathematically able. The publication of this Springer volume on equity in mathematics education is situated at a time when there is strong and sustained research evidence indicating the persistence of an equity gap in mathematics, which has now enabled the mathematics education community to engage in a discourse of access for all. The research studies that are reported and discussed in the volume have been drawn from an international group of distinguished scholars whose impressive, forward-looking, and thought-provoking perspectives on relevant issues incite, broaden, and expand complicated conversations on how we might effectively achieve equity in mathematics education at the local, institutional, and systemic levels. Further, the up-to-date research knowledge in the field that is reflected in this volume provides conceptual and practical outlines for mechanisms of change, including models, examples, and usable theories that can inform the development of powerful equitable practices and the mobilization of meaningful equity interventions in different contexts of mathematics education.
