Learning Outcomes: Skills or Function?

Authors: Tom Ciancone, Dave Tout

This is the report of a workshop that explored the differences between measuring skill-based numeracy (using math in school) and function-based numeracy (using math in real life). Workshop participants discussed how these different approaches to "learning outcomes" can affect the curriculum for teaching adult numeracy.
