Research and Evaluation

Adult Numeracy: Review of Research and Related Literature is an international review of research and related literature on epistemologies of mathematics and mathematics teacher education in a variety of settings.

 

The EMPower Project: Making Adults’ Thinking Audible and Visible explores the development of a mathematics curriculum for adults and out-of-school youth.

Numeracy in the Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey [downloadable files] PDF (336 KB) presents the framework for the conceptualization and assessment of numeracy skills, as part of the Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey.

 

Topics addressed in Perspectives on Adults Learning Mathematics, Research and Practice include mathematics and common sense, statistical literacy and numeracy, new theories on learning math, and math competencies for the workplace.

Noteworthy Practices

  • Strengthening Math Skills at the Postsecondary Level: In October 2003, the Department of Education awarded a contract to the CNA Corporation and its partners to review the lessons learned from community colleges, the military, business, and organized labor whose common goal has been to strengthen the mathematics skills of their students, members, or employees. The project will identify and document a range of promising programs, approaches, and instructional practices that enable students to strengthen their math skills and progress to higher-level math courses and into work assignments requiring higher-level math abilities. For more information, contact Carolyn Lee.
