Funded Activity Summary

Facilitating improvements in prison inmates and juvenile offenders' numeracy to enhance their employment and life chances. Over 85% of prison inmates possess levels of numeracy which inhibit their employment and life chances. The aim of the project is to develop an integrated numeracy program that can be implemented within custodial institutions. By enhancing numeracy levels, the project will improve the life chances of ex-inmates and contribute significantly in reducing levels of recidivism. The project will significantly advance theory about 1) adult numeracy education, and 2) design of on-line in-service teacher education systems for adult numeracy teachers. The expected outcomes are: 1) improved adult education numeracy assessment and learning resources, 2) an on-line in-service teacher education system, 3) adult numeracy education computer software.
