This book argues that there has been a radical shift in the nature of mathematical skills required for work - which has still not been fully recognised by either the formal education system or by employers and managers.

Improving Learning in a Professional Context provides vital new evidence on exactly how teachers learn to be teachers; evidence that is likely to affect and influence the profession for many years to come. Demonstrating that learning in schools is more than simple 'cognitive' knowledge of the curriculum and teaching skills, this book suggests that we need to pay more attention to the emotional, relational, ethical, material, structural and temporal dimensions of the teaching experience. Based on empirical research, including interviews with new teachers, by teachers themselves, on...

Modern societies demand high levels of literacy. The written word is pervasive; individuals with poor literacy skills are deeply disadvantaged; and governments are increasingly pre-occupied with the contribution that skills can make to economic growth. As a result, the basic skills of adult workers are of concern as never before, a focus for workplace and education policy and practice.
While Improving Literacy at Work builds on detailed research from the UK, the issue is a universal one and rising skill requirements mean the conclusions drawn will be of equal interest...

By tracking the lives of over 120 adults from across Britain and undertaking 528 in-depth interviews, asking people about their life histories and the place of learning in their lives, the authors have come to the conclusion that learning means and does much more in peoples' lives than is acknowledged by current education policy and politics.
