Dit onderzoek is een exploratief onderzoek naar welke aspecten van belang zijn bij het interpreteren en begrijpen van hedendaagse informatiebronnen door mensen met beperkte basisvaardigheden.

Enthousiast begonnen Bibliotheek Oostland, DOK Delft, Bibliotheek AanZet, Probiblio en Hogeschool Utrecht in juni 2021 aan het Tel mee met Taal-experiment Gecijferdheid Telt Mee!. Aan het einde van dit experiment is het enthousiasme alleen maar toegenomen; gecijferdheid telt écht mee. Het doel van het …

We assess the incidence of numeracy skills mismatch in five countries: Belgium, Chile, Italy, Netherlands, and the United States of America. To do this, we make use of a new approach (Brun-Schamme & Rey, 2021), namely by identifying someone as being mismatched if the score for numeracy skills is outside …

Technology, data use, and digitisation are based on mathematical structures, and this permeates many aspects of our daily lives: apps, online activities, and all kinds of communication. Equipping people to deal with this mathematisation of society is a big challenge. Which competences are needed, which …

This paper explores the contributions of research to the field of adults learning mathematics (ALM) in the last twenty years. The results of the review of the literature on ALM show that the most cited studies that have been published in the last twenty years tend to focus on the field of numeracy to …

This paper is a summary paper of the Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Adult Mathematics Education (AME). As the only thematic working group that focuses on adults’ lived experiences of mathematics, the research makes an important contribution to the field of Mathematics Education. The main themes in this …

Graphs are ubiquitous. Many graphs, including histograms, bar charts, and stacked dotplots, have proven tricky to interpret. Students’ gaze data can indicate students’ interpretation strategies on these graphs. We therefore explore the question: In what way can machine learning quantify differences in …
