Maximising the opportunities presented by digital technologies in numeracy teaching

Description

"Maximising the opportunities presented by digital technologies in numeracy teaching is a 2-year project under Key Objective 2 of the Erasmus+ programme. At our first meeting we decided on a shorter working title for the project, we did not change the name officially but refer to the project for ease as ""DigiMaths"" and use the full title where required.The project built, in part, on the work of the Leonardo project (2011-2013): Best practice in mathematics education in the vocational classroom . It sought to be cross-sectoral in nature and to facilitate learning across sectors in the different partners’ countries.Project aims:The project’s overarching aims were to:• identify and share, across educational sectors, the value of integrating digital technologies into numeracy teaching in VET, adult education, higher education and schools• provide opportunities (during the project and afterwards through produced materials) for educators to use digital technologies to maximise the impact of learning and teaching in numeracyProject outputs/activities:During the project’s lifetime we:• carried out a literature review of international research into effective use of digital technologies in the teaching of numeracy – to establish if it can be used effectively, and if so, how it should be used• undertook a multi-country survey to identify current practice in the use of digital technologies to teach numeracy• carried out study visits in partners’ countries to observe and record effective practice in the use of digital technologies to teach numeracy and maths• produced a project report on effective practice in using digital technologies to teach maths and numeracy• produced guidance for teachers on effective practice in using digital technologies to teach maths and numeracy• produce resources for teaching maths and numeracy using digital technologies• produce a training session for teachers of maths and numeracy on how to use digital technologies in teaching and learning, including the use of the resources we have produced.Project outcomes:We were working towards the following outcomes:• have increased European educators’ knowledge and understanding about the potential value of using digital technologies in post-16 numeracy teaching and learning• have increased knowledge and understanding of the different sectors of education in our own and each other’s countries• have improved numeracy teaching and learning for learners, across sectors, as a result of our increased knowledge, skills and understanding in teaching using digital technologiesPartners:The following organisations will participate in the project: Ireland: Trinity College Dublin UK: Learning Link Scotland and LTA Solutions LtdFinland: Vaasa Vocational InstituteDenmark: Centre for Resources for Teaching and partnersSwitzerland: Swiss Federation for Adult Learning (as an associate partner, funded by the Swiss government)"
