PDM – Challenges of the 21st Century
Introduction
Relation to Common European Numeracy Framework

Key issues
It’s about:
- to connect the aspects of the CENF with frameworks on 21st century skills.
- to understand that numeracy, literacy and digital competences are the pillars of the basis skills of the 21st century.
Suggestions for PDM meetings
PD – Activity 1
Reflection, discussion: “Which task is easier?”
To open the subjective perspective of the teachers (prior knowledge, prior beliefs, prior experiences on the theme)
PD – Activity 2
To study and discuss two or more examples of how this can be addressed in an Adult Numeracy activity.
PD – Activity 3
Find your own examples and describe learning paths
To design by/with teachers of one or more Adult Numeracy Activities for his/her own teaching situation, exchange results between the teachers. Discuss. Suggestions
Reflection
Challenges for teaching?
To reflect on the levels addressed in this mini-module.
Information/background
