Numeracy

The Student Learning section is unusual in Australian and overseas universities in that provision for numeracy support is situated alongside support in other skills. The numeracy position has a two-fold purpose, to support students in mathematics and statistics in various disciplines and to develop critical numeracy skills for all students. Elsewhere in Australia support in mathematics and statistics is located solely in Mathematics centres, while the notion of critical numeracy in reading is largely ignored. The Murdoch model is based on the premise that critical numeracy is as crucial as literacy skills. One way that numeracy skills are developed for all Murdoch students is through the numeracy components in foundation units, which have been designed by the Senior Lecturer in Numeracy, Marian Kemp. She also provides group and individual support to students in numeracy.
