Title: Promoting Mathematics Literacy in Europe
Publication Date: 2018
Authors: - Jaime Carvalho e Silva
Abstract: The outcomes of European countries in international comparative studies (such as PISA and TIMSS), and surveys in individual countries, suggest that the mathematical skills of most European young people are inadequate.
The international comparisons suggest that lower attaining students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds have particularly weak skills. Also, comparing the content of national examinations in several countries we conclude that there is a lack of content related to math literacy
Teacher development is a priority if the mathematical literacy of all learners, regardless of their background and prior attainment, is to be nurtured and developed.
Ways of promoting mathematical literacy in initial and continuing teacher education will be discussed.
