Abstract | Academic numeracy is critical to succeed in a wide range of studies and in the workplace. A systematic approach to academic numeracy by tertiary institutions is crucial to effectively embed numeracy into the curriculum and learning-support initiatives. Using action research and a mixed-methods approach, this project will produce a mature, tested and trialed Academic Numeracy Framework based on an initial version developed at UniSQ. The Framework will be updated to include ‘confidence’ and contextual ‘critical awareness’ elements, refined via feedback from teaching and study support staff, and trialed in a commencing course. This initiative will provide a tool to facilitate the systematic embedding of numeracy across disciplines in tertiary institutions. The current Framework will be presented, and participants will be invited to provide feedback. |
