This study investigates the experiences of adults returning to study mathematics in an adult learning environment. Current government policy aims to increase school retention rates, and the proportion of low socio-economic status school leavers who successfully make the transition to higher education (Skills Victoria, 2010a). The Technical and Further Education (TAFE) system in Australia has a long history of providing adults who experienced school as problematic, with a 'second chance' to complete their general education in a post-school setting. This study seeks to improve understanding of how these policy goals might be achieved, and to contribute to pedagogical debates on how we meet the needs of learners who have experienced social, economic and educational barriers (Kell, 2010). The study explores the factors that influence persistence and non-persistence of second chance learners who chose to study a Year 12 Mathematics subject at the Victorian Certificate of Education level (VCE) at a suburban TAFE Institute. The primary motivation of adults who enroll in a senior secondary certificate at TAFE "is to obtain a university entrance score as a prerequisite for university" (Karmel, 2004, p. 3). Year 12 Mathematics presents a significant hurdle for students who may have had a disrupted education, yet is needed for progression into many study and career paths. This study used qualitative semi-structured interviews to gather insight into educational experiences of the three participants who were all enrolled in Year 12 Mathematical Methods. Two students were early school leavers; the third was a school completer returning to study to pursue an alternate career path after ten years in the workforce.The study highlights how the interaction of affective, cognitive and conative factors can influence a student's successful reengagement with a 'hard' Year 12 Mathematics subject. Each of the participants reported a positive attitude towards mathematics as a discipline. However, there were significant differences in work habits (Corno, 2004) and approaches to learning, of the students who did or did not persist in the subject. The data analysis suggests that one's self-theory of intelligence may be influence one's ability to study effectively (see Dweck, 1999). Experiential learning in the work place, and through extra-curricula activities, may also assist some older students to develop an incremental mindset and a strategic approach to learning.The outcomes of this study, while small scale, are important for a few reasons. The study contributes to the under-researched field of adults returning to study mathematics at senior secondary level. Students with a clear sense of agency, who have developed a strategic approach to learning, are able to overcome significant deficits of prior knowledge and successfully complete an academic year 12 subject. Teachers in both secondary school and TAFE need to make the link between effort and learning explicit for students at all levels. The study also has implications for the recent punitive education policies of the Australian State and Commonwealth governments. Time is a critical factor in the development of an incremental mindset, and the associated sense of agency, needed to enable second chance learners to successfully reengage with school mathematics. For some adults this process may take years.

A project examined the outcomes and pathways of 1992 participants in adult and community education (ACE) courses in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. It explored participant characteristics, vocational skills gained from completing ACE courses, educational and employment outcomes, and personal benefits and benefits to families and the community. Ten discussion groups were held, with 5-10 participants attending each group. For the survey, a stratified random sample of ACE centers selected a representative sample of participants; 2,388 questionnaires were used in the analysis. Participants most frequently reported improvements to language and communication skills. Disadvantaged students improved their skills the most. A high proportion of students in adult basic education (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) went on to study more ESL and/or ABE subjects. Unemployed students experienced more educational outcomes and pathways than other participants. In terms of employment pathways, 43 percent of those who were unemployed at the time of the 1992 course were working when they filled out the questionnaire. The most significant outcomes were those related to personal benefits, particularly for women; 50 percent reported they gained at least one family outcome from their 1992 course and 15 percent of ACE participants reported becoming involved in voluntary work in the community. (Appendixes include additional data tables, instruments, and 26-item bibliography.) (YLB)

This contributed volume explores equity and social justice within the field of mathematics education. In part one, Helga Jungwirth's introductory chapter provides a strong theoretical overview that is based in actual classroom behaviors and a typology that classifies the various interpretations found within this volume. Also in part one, Laurie Hart discusses developments in equity research in the United States. Part two focuses on results of studies about social justice and their impact on learning in mathematics classrooms in various parts of the world. For example, in a chapter on Peru, social justice does not just encompass gender, but also inequalities in opportunities to learn, such as problems of resources, living and social conditions, communal demands and language needs. And, part three focuses on computers as a resource to mathematics teaching. The contributors raise several important social justice issues which have previously remained unresearched. Although there are a number of chapters specifically dealing with gender, many of the authors use one of the following strategies: their gender-specific questions are set in a wider socio-cultural context, they challenge what have threatened to become false orthodoxies, or they raise other important issues. These other issues include the meaning of democratic citizenship for mathematics classrooms, the links between parents and children learning mathematics, and the preconceptions of some teachers of underprivileged students in Australia. Other chapters explore different forms of classroom communication, participation, and assessment. The pieces on computers state that there is still not enough research to conclude whether computers in the mathematics classrooms are supportive of, or detrimental to, the learning of all students. The one thing on which every author in this volume does agree is that social justice in mathematics education has still not been attained, but that we must strive toward it to improve educational practices and society in general.
