| Abstract | Academic numeracy is vital to the success of the adult learner in tertiary and professional environments. Thus, tertiary educators, including study support staff, require a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of adult numeracy, including its key elements of This contribution demonstrates the essential facets of an Academic Numeracies Framework (the Framework), and presents progress in its development, as part of an Australian research study which aims to provide tools and knowledge to facilitate the systematic embedding of numeracy in tertiary courses, programs and study-development initiatives. It is proposed that the Framework will support the development of mathematical skills in various contexts. This significant undergraduate skill gap has been reported worldwide (Faulkner et al, 2014; Buchele et al, 2023). While Australia has seen explicit policies around widening participation in higher education since 2009 (Gale & Parker, 2013), more recent initiatives have seen the widespread removal of explicit mathematics prerequisites across undergraduate programs. The result is a highly diverse student demographic (Faulkner et al. 2014). However, universities must now identify skill gaps, and then embed various support programs tailored to the student and the degree where the mathematics skill is needed (such as engineering, nursing, and accounting). While this can result in a better experience for the student, the development and implementation of programs takes careful planning. The use of a tool such as the Academic Numeracies Framework aids educators in recognising what is required of students throughout their learning journey and scaffolding that learning accordingly. The paper presents preliminary focus-group findings and next steps in the study, including the place of student dispositions in the Framework and guidance on how tertiary educators, including study support professionals, can use the Framework to address institutional challenges. |
