Numeracy

Programme Overview

The Numeracy module aims to provide a thorough understanding of the concept of numeracy. It will enable the participant to have an in-depth knowledge of assessment procedures with regard to numeracy, and to critically appraise appropriate teaching and learning numeracy strategies and approaches. In addition, it will enable the participant to critically appraise the implications of numeracy in the development of a broad and balanced curriculum, to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of adaptive reasoning and to critically reflect on factors which influence productive disposition with regard to numeracy. This is delivered using online components and face-to-face workshops.

Please Note: We will not be accepting new applications for this module for the 2024-2025 academic year as the current module structure is undergoing a redesign. Applications will open for the 2025-2026 academic year when the new module has been developed. We will advertise the new programme in 2025 on our website and we look forward to welcoming new students for September 2025.

Requirements and Assessment

Continuous assessment will apply throughout the module. It will combine coursework on relevant aspects of Special Educational Needs with e-tivities, discussion boards, portfolio/project-based learning, literature reviews and case studies, which will be carried out within an appropriate educational context during the academic year. The concept of the ‘reflective practitioner’ will be a basic criterion permeating all forms of assessment.
