Aims
The aim of TSG 5 at ICME-12 is to bring together researchers, practitioners and policy makers in mathematics education, adult education, workplace education, adult numeracy education, citizenship education, social movement education - for the exchange of ideas related to mathematics education in and for work.
We view mathematics to be inclusive of the formal academic discipline of mathematics as well as the range of practices in which mathematics is embedded.
We view education to be inclusive of formal, informal and non-formal learning, that is, in education settings (e.g. adult community education, vocational and further education) as well as in the community and workplaces; and both individual and collective learning.
We view work to be inclusive of paid work and unpaid work such as work in the home, and activist work in social movements.
The focal topics will include empirical, theoretical and methodological issues related to questions like:
- How is mathematics embedded in work practices; what is this mathematics like and how is it learned?
- What mathematics do people learn in preparation for work?
- How is mathematics/ numeracy valued for and in employment in different societies?
- How does the mathematics taught and learned for work differ/match the mathematics used in work?
- How does the mathematics learning in and for work meet people's mathematical needs in other domains of their lives?
We hope to see exchanges of ideas and information from people working on these and related topics from different theoretical perspectives, in different policy and cultural contexts. The purpose is to develop rich and critical insights into what might be meant by 'mathematics in and for work'.
