ALM International Journal
Title: Teaching and learning mathematics online for adults
|
|
In the wake of the devastation of the global pandemic of Covid-19, teachers and researchers have been challenged to engage with learners of mathematics using ICT tools and methodologies. The aim of this special issue is to collect research and practices that focuses on adult learning in mathematics in online spaces. We will provide a platform for sharing and discussing successful practices of adults engaging with formal, and informal mathematics in a number of different contexts (taking adult mathematics courses, supporting children at home, etc.). While many teachers have already been using online platforms, for many the pandemic has changed significantly the habits of learners and teachers in the communities. Introducing digital solutions has been used as a quick strategy to overcome the challenges posed by the pandemic to everyone. Using ICT creates important challenges and opportunities for teaching mathematics to adult learners.
|
The main objective of the special issue is to offer a platform for the teachers around the world to share their experiences to improve adult numeracy and pedagogies. We encourage researchers and practitioners to share how they face those challenges, providing scientific evidence that may help us to improve how can we use ICT in ALM contexts. We also particularly welcome submissions from the learner perspective, since we consider this voice as a crucial addition to the narrative in these digital times.
