Embedding Numeracy in University Curricula: Using the Academic Numeracies Framework

Presented by: Dr Raquel Salmeron, Debi Howarth, Em Professor Linda Galligan University of Southern Queensland

Numeracy is essential for success in university and the workplace. However, many tertiary students struggle to meet expected academic numeracy standards throughout their studies thereby impacting their post-study options. Addressing this challenge requires a coordinated approach across individual, course, program, and institutional levels, moving beyond the fragmented and often ineffective efforts currently in place.

This presentation will introduce the Academic Numeracies Framework, a practical tool designed to support the systematic embedding of numeracy into university curricula. Developed specifically for tertiary education, the Framework focuses on teaching and learning and is discipline agnostic, making it a valuable resource for institution-wide numeracy development. It aims to inform and empower academics and learning development professionals, who are working to systematically embed numeracy into university curricula and learning support initiatives, ultimately improving numeracy outcomes. Our presentation will briefly discuss feedback from first-year and pathway academics, learning development staff, and academic managers from three regional Australian universities, on the Framework’s benefits, uses, implementation, and improvements.

A newly-developed interactive version of the Framework will then be presented. This version offers an intuitive interface that guides users through its components and provides context-sensitive guidance, enhancing usability and promoting adoption. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with the Framework through a guided example, or via their own application.
