Riassunto:

Post-compulsory mathematics is increasingly seen as a significant part of the UK education sector. The recent "Action on Adult Maths" initiative has recognized this issue, as has the requirement that all young adults involved in education will work towards mathematics qualifications. This book provides the knowledge needed by trainees on initial teacher education programs that are focused on or include the teaching of adult mathematics and numeracy. It looks at the practice of teaching adult mathematics and numeracy, including a focus on different approaches to teaching, the teaching and learning cycle, subject knowledge, and curriculum design. It will develop in readers an understanding of adult mathematics and numeracy learners and their specific needs, and it will help trainees to understand what professionalism means in this sector and how they can continue their development as teacher. Contents include: overview and introduction * teaching practice * the learners * approaches to teaching mathematics and numeracy * mathematical knowledge * examples of teaching * the teaching and learning cycle * curriculum design for inclusive practice * professionalism * beyond initial training (CPD). [Subject: Adult Education, Mathematics]
