The National Foundation Skills Strategy for
Adults… was launched in September 2012 … It represents the official state of
play in Australian adult literacy and numeracy policy and practice currently
and for at least the next decade… It should be noted firstly that the term ‘foundation skills’ is
used in the Strategy in preference to literacy and numeracy. Foundation skills
are defined as the combination
of English language, literacy and numeracy and: employability skills such as
collaboration, problem solving, self-management, learning and information and
communication technology (ICT) skills required for participation in modern
workplaces and contemporary life. (Black, Yasukawa & Brown, 2015,
p.607).
Beginning
from the perspective on numeracy expressed in the quotation above, discuss and define adult
numeracy as a concept for teacher of adult numeracy in the context of your teaching
and learning. Use the theoretical approaches discussed in the opening
chapter of your set text, Foundation numeracy in context, as a guide to some of
the key ideas, and apply
these ideas to your own reading, teaching and learning in numeracy
and/or mathematics education.
