Book Synopsis Seeking the N in LLN by : Tina Berghella
Download or read book Seeking the N in LLN written by Tina Berghella and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy and numeracy skills are critical in the workplace and yet little is known in Australia about the extent of numeracy training required within a workplace. This study begins to redress this by investigating the qualifications, experience, and numeracy skills of language, literacy and numeracy specialists and vocational specialists - referred to collectively in this study as vocational education and training (VET) practitioners - working in the process manufacturing industry. A degree of mismatch is found between the skill required to address numeracy needs in the process manufacturing industries and the current capacity of VET practitioners in terms of their understanding of numeracy requirements, their qualifications, skills and experience. Table of contents: * Executive summary * Introduction (Mathematics, numeracy and workplace numeracy. Process manufacturing industries focus. The national response. VET provision and workplace numeracy. What do adult workplace numeracy specialists need? VET workforce capability. Building capability Research questions) * Methodology * Findings (VET practitioner numeracy teaching qualifications and experience. Understanding of the importance of numeracy skills. Numeracy skills levels of VET practitioners. Effectively addressing numeracy skills. VET practitioner capacity to address numeracy skills needs) * Discussion and implications (VET practitioner numeracy teaching qualifications and experience. Understanding of the importance of numeracy skills. Numeracy skills levels of VET practitioners. Effectively addressing numeracy skills. VET practitioner capacity to address numeracy skills needs) * Conclusion * References * Appendix A Support document: * Numeracy assessment tool development * Detailed focus group results (Importance of numeracy. Relevance for practitioners. Relevance for existing workers in the process manufacturing industries) * Detailed numeracy assessment observations * Appendices(Participant Information. Small Group Activity. Individual Self Assessment. Individual Numeracy Assessment. Answer Sheet with Answers and ACSF Mapping. Interview Questions) *References.

Areas covered include: abattoirs, meat retail, meat safety and smallgoods butchery and retail. The CD includes answer tools for trainers and recording sheets for trainee files to help identify what support will be required by the trainee. The skills check should not be given to trainees as a test. This skills check is designed to get an indication of a trainee's language, literacy and numeracy skills on commencement of training. Skills checks do not give an indication of whether a trainee is likely to succeed or fail in training or in their work. They are only expected to provide some advice to trainers on where the trainee might need additional support in their training in terms of language, literacy and numeracy. Each comes with a trainer tool, trainee tool (the skills check) and a trainee core skills report. The trainer tool provides advice on how to administer the skills check. This resource was funded under the Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) program by the Australian Government, Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science Research and Tertiary Education. Table of contents: * Abattoirs Certificate I to III * Certificate IV and Diploma * Meat Retail Certificate I to III * Meat Safety Certifcate III to IV * Smallgoods Certificate I to III.

Book Synopsis Educating One and All by : National Research Council
Download or read book Educating One and All written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-06-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the movement toward standards-based education, an important question stands out: How will this reform affect the 10% of school-aged children who have disabilities and thus qualify for special education? In Educating One and All, an expert committee addresses how to reconcile common learning for all students with individualized education for "one"â€"the unique student. The book makes recommendations to states and communities that have adopted standards-based reform and that seek policies and practices to make reform consistent with the requirements of special education. The committee explores the ideas, implementation issues, and legislative initiatives behind the tradition of special education for people with disabilities. It investigates the policy and practice implications of the current reform movement toward high educational standards for all students. Educating One and All examines the curricula and expected outcomes of standards-based education and the educational experience of students with disabilitiesâ€"and identifies points of alignment between the two areas. The volume documents the diverse population of students with disabilities and their school experiences. Because approaches to assessment and accountability are key to standards-based reforms, the committee analyzes how assessment systems currently address students with disabilities, including testing accommodations. The book addresses legal and resource implications, as well as parental participation in children's education.
Book Synopsis The language dimension in all subjects by : Jean-Claude Beacco
Download or read book The language dimension in all subjects written by Jean-Claude Beacco and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering the language of schooling is essential for learners to develop the skills necessary for school success and for critical thinking. It is fundamental for participation in democratic societies, and for social inclusion and cohesion. This handbook is a policy and working document which promotes convergence and coherence between the linguistic dimensions of various school subjects. It proposes measures to make explicit – in curricula, pedagogic material and teacher training – the specific linguistic norms and competences which learners must master in each school subject. It also presents the learning modalities that should allow all learners, and in particular the most vulnerable among them, to benefit from diversified language-learning situations in order to develop their cognitive and linguistic capacities.

Book Synopsis Links Between Literacy and Numeracy Skills and Labour Market Outcomes by : Anthony Shomos
Download or read book Links Between Literacy and Numeracy Skills and Labour Market Outcomes written by Anthony Shomos and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper utilises data from a 2006 survey on the literacy and numeracy skills of the Australian adult population. Analysis reveals that literacy and numeracy skills for nearly half of the population were assessed at either levels 1 (the lowest level) or 2, both of which are below the minimum level deemed necessary to participate in a knowledge-based economy (level 3), [and they] vary according to a number of factors, and were generally highest for people who had either undertaken higher levels of education, were born in an English speaking country or were of prime working age (20-44 years old). Models were used to estimate the effect of improved literacy and numeracy skills on the probability of labour force participation and on wages. Results confirm previous research in the human capital literature -- that improving literacy and numeracy skills has a positive, statistically significant effect on labour market outcomes."--Key points, p. viii.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
