Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse and apply effective adult numeracy teaching practices to meet the needs of those participating in numeracy provision in vocational education and training (VET) contexts. The unit addresses the analysis and application of numeracy teaching practices to a minimum of ACSF level 3. It includes the ability to access assistance from mathematics or technical specialists when necessary for applications of numeracy above ACSF level 3.The unit applies to those who deliver adult language, literacy and numeracy skills provision, including:stand-alone courses, such as are required for the Language Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP)workplace courses, such as the Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) programthose delivering in vocational and community-based settings.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse and apply conceptual frameworks and theories underpinning numeracy teaching
  • 1.1 Examine theories that inform adult numeracy teaching and their application
  • 1.2 Identify relevant frameworks and structures that apply to adult numeracy delivery in vocational education and training (VET) contexts
  • 1.3 Investigate how adult learning principles contribute to an environment conducive to developing numeracy skills
  • 1.4 Review range of provision for learning numeracy in VET contexts
2. Research numeracy requirements of those participating in numeracy provision
  • 2.1 Identify diversity of skills and backgrounds of those participating in numeracy provision
  • 2.2 Identify range of learning goals of those participating in numeracy provision
  • 2.3 Use validated frameworks to develop and evaluate learner profiles
  • 2.4 Review own mathematical skills and knowledge in relation to addressing the skill needs of others and seek assistance from mathematics or technical specialist where required
3. Select from a range of teaching approaches and learning resources to develop participants’ numeracy skills and knowledge
  • 3.1 Evaluate teaching approaches that identify mathematical information and meaning in authentic and relevant contexts and teach mathematical terminology and language
  • 3.2 Evaluate teaching approaches that incorporate reasoning, problem-solving and estimation activities
  • 3.3 Determine the applicability of teaching approaches to specific needs, levels of numeracy, learning styles, and context of those participating in numeracy provision
  • 3.4 Identify where assistance from mathematics or technical specialists may be needed to address higher level mathematical skills or the application of numeracy in a specific vocational context
  • 3.5 Examine learning resources from traditional, new and emerging technologies that link to numeracy learning outcomes and promote learner engagement with tasks and activities
  • 3.6 Evaluate materials relevant to social and cultural needs of those participating in numeracy provision
4. Apply and evaluate strategies for teaching numeracy skills and knowledge
  • 4.1 Devise activities that integrate literacy skills appropriate to specific needs and context of those participating in numeracy provision
  • 4.2 Apply strategies to teach number, measurement, space and location, and data and statistics, appropriate to identified knowledge and level of difficulty
  • 4.3 Examine and apply strategies to develop learning skills
  • 4.4 Use formal and informal monitoring to evaluate effectiveness of teaching strategies
