| Popis: | International audience; Adults know more about mathematics than they think and use it more often than they realise. Despite their apparent self-perception of being a ‘non-maths’ person, they behave in mathematics-informed ways, which are dismissed, routinely, as common sense or anything but mathematics. The doctoral research underpinning this paper reports that given the opportunity to view their behaviour, especially in work, through a mathematics-sensitive lens, people readily recognise their numerate behaviour even if they talk about it in different ways. This work introduces a set of tools and a methodology to harvest real tangible benefits for the learner. The tools explore the locus of a person’s expertise in increasing granularity, to build a platform from which to capture a learner’s mathematics knowledge, skills and competence (MKSC), to revise the mistaken self-perception and to inculcate confidence in his/her learning of mathematics. |
