Abstract:

This research focuses on the demand for and use of literacy and numeracy skills in low paid work. The motivation for the research is to examine the assumption, widely espoused by policy makers, that literacy and numeracy skills are vital at all levels of the labour market and that deficiencies in these skills are the source of widespread economic problems. The primary aim of this study is to understand the extent to which employees in low paid occupations use literacy and numeracy skills in their work. Alongside this, the research considers the extent of mismatch between the skills of employee

Abstract:

Students at university encounter quantitative information in tables and graphs or through prose in textbooks, journals, electronic sources and in lectures. The degree to which students are able to engage with this kind of information and draw their own conclusions, influences the extent to which they need to rely on the interpretation of others. In particular, students who are studying in non-mathematical disciplines often fail to engage seriously with such material for a number of reasons. These may include a lack of confidence in their ability to do mathematics, a lack of mathematical skills

The nature and role of workplace literacy and numeracy are the subject of considerable debate (Baker, 1998; Castleton, 2002; Gee & Lankshear, 1997; Hull, 1997; Jackson, 2000; Marr & Hagston, 2007). The debate in New Zealand, (as in many other countries), is taking place amid concerns about the adequacy of the skills of its workforce and the latter’s ability to meet future demands of everyday work and life (Tertiary Education Commission, 2008). These concerns have resulted in major investment at a national level in a Skills Strategy (New Zealand Government, 2008) with particular emphasis on imp

Individuals have become more involved in health-related decisions, in part due to an unprecedented access to information that can be used to enhance both physical and mental health.

Abstract:

The Geoscience Quantitative Preparation Survey (GQPS) was developed to address a deficiency in the available literature regarding the competency and preparation of early-career geologists in geoscience job-related quantitative skills – namely, geologic numeracy. The final version of the GQPS included self-confidence, usage, satisfaction, and demographic sections. The GQPS was expected to produce data that would allow for an evaluation of the geologic numeracy of early-career geologists and the success of approximately 20 years of increased focus on quantitatively literate geoscience graduates.

However, the focus is primarily on the years 2000 –2006 when major developments took place in this field of adult learning. One of the tenets of the ‘new literacies’ policy and practice is that it is predicated on a social practice model. This thesis explores whether this assertion is rhetoric or reality.

This research is focused on the literacy and numeracy support offered by third sector organisations as part of their efforts to help homeless adults move into employment. Whilst homeless people are increasingly expected to move into work, many face a number of barriers to labour market participation. A small but growing evidence base suggests that one key barrier is poor literacy and numeracy, or ‘basic’ skills. However, research has found that homeless people, alongside other disadvantaged adults, are often excluded from formal opportunities to improve these skills. Third sector homelessness

This study investigated how the interpretation of mathematical problems by Year 7 students impacted on their ability to demonstrate what they can do in NAPLAN numeracy testing. In the study, mathematics is viewed as a culturally and socially determined system of signs and signifiers that establish the meaning, origins and importance of mathematics. The study hypothesises that students are unable to succeed in NAPLAN numeracy tests because they cannot interpret the questions, even though they may be able to perform the necessary calculations.

Questions have remained unanswered regarding the reasons for this difficulty. It has been unclear if the word problems were hard because the people had forgotten or had not yet learned how to do the math calculations involved or for some other reason. This study deals with high school students who are currently in a high school level math class. They were given an assessment involving word problems and number-only prob

Abstract:

The educational change brought about by the South African Constitution and the Language in Education policy has resulted in many parents choosing to send their children from pre-school to an English medium school, so that their children can become proficient in the English language. As a result, many learners are learning in a language that is not their mother tongue and are therefore struggling to acquire reading and writing skills. Although there are many misconceptions regarding the learning of a language, the underlying theory on how learners learn a second language through Cummins BICS an

Abstract:

No processo de comunicação de recomendações alimentares em formato numérico (e.g. dose diária máxima recomendada) é fundamental que a informação seja transmitida num formato que permita compreender o que é recomendado. Exemplo é o consumo de sal, em que a adesão à recomendação depende de uma estimativa precisa do consumo presente e da quantidade que deveria ser consumida, de forma a ajustar o consumo à recomendação. Com o objetivo de estudar estratégias de incremento desta precisão, foram analisados facilitadores da estimação de quantidades de sal, nomeadamente: 1) preferência por apres

Abstract:

This thesis examined the relationship between classroom quality, approaches-to-learning, and early academic skills among 384 Latino dual language learners (DLLs) enrolled in Florida Head Start programs. The children were living in low-income homes where Spanish was the primary language spoken by at least one parent. The study analyzed the extent to which approaches-to-learning behaviors moderate early literacy and numeracy skills in Head Start classrooms of varying quality. During the spring of their prek-4 year, the children were administered the English and Spanish Letter-Word Identification

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative interpretative case study was to explore how the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) requirements may be affecting pedagogies of two Year 3, Year 5 and Year 7 teachers at two Queensland schools. The perceived problem was that standardised assessment NAPLAN practices and its growing status as a key measure of education quality throughout Australia has the potential to limit the everyday literacy and numeracy practices of teachers to instructional methods primarily focused on teaching to the test. The findings demonstrate how increased

Abstract:

In this era of increasingly fast communication people are being exposed to quantitative information, from national and international sources, through a range of media including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, pod-casts, YouTube and other areas of the Internet. Contexts include health statistics, environmental issues, traffic statistics, wars, gun laws and so on. It is becoming more and more important that citizens are able to critically read and interpret this information, and to do so requires an understanding of statistical concepts. Research has shown that students are motivated a

Abstract:

Bien que située au cœur de l'activité quotidienne de l'enseignant dans sa classe, l'évaluation interne est une forme d'évaluation peu étudiée. La thèse s'intéresse à la partie la plus explicite de cette évaluation constituée par l'ensemble des épreuves soumises par chaque enseignant aux élèves à des fins d'évaluation, et qui servent de support aux jugements évaluatifs portés dans les « livrets scolaires ». Plus précisément, nous étudions la validité de cette évaluation selon trois dimensions : une dimension de conformité, permettant d'apprécier comment l'évaluation remplit le cahier des charge

Abstract:

Le terme "illusion monétaire" a été inventé pour la première fois par l'économiste américain Irving Fisher en 1928 pour décrire le phénomène selon lequel les individus ne perçoivent pas l’augmentation ou la diminution de la valeur des unités monétaires. Au cours des décennies suivantes, économistes, psychologues et scientifiques du comportement ont tout d'abord débattu de l'existence de l'illusion monétaire, avant d'affiner et d'élargir sa définition. Cette thèse s’appuie sur les recherches précédentes concernant l’illusion monétaire, dans le but de mettre en évidence, à l’aide de méthodes exp
