- Marr, Beth; Hagston, Jan
- Abstract
- Through interviews with a range of stakeholders and workers in manufacturing and aged care, this study examined the use, learning and transference of workplace numeracy skills, as well as current understandings of the term 'numeracy'. The study challenges the training system, training organisations, and trainers to provide numeracy training that makes links directly to workplace contexts.
