Objectives

By implementing our project, we set out to fortify the capabilities of adult educators in recognizing and tackling dyscalculia among adult learners. Through strategically designed activities, including preparatory meetings and the creation of a blended training module, we aimed to equip educators with current insights, cognitive tools, and technological resources. The main objective was to contribute to a more inclusive and effective adult education landscape, where educators are not only aware of the challenges posed by dyscalculia but are also proficient in providing tailored support to adult learners with these needs.

Background

We applied for this project to address the pressing needs within the field of adult education related to dyscalculia. The lack of specific resources and training for adult educators in identifying and assisting adults with dyscalculia prompted our project. By developing and disseminating high-quality practices, integrating both cognitive and technological tools, we aimed to contribute to the professional development of adult educators and improve the learning outcomes for adults with dyscalculia. Our project sought to fill a critical gap, fostering inclusivity and ensuring that adults facing challenges in mathematical comprehension receive the support they need within the adult education system.
