Promoting Mathematics Resilience
Evidence is accruing that Mathematical Resilience is fundamental to developing a numerate, empowered society. Researchers in the Centre for Education Studies are collaborating with a range of partners including Warwick Centre for Lifelong Learning, The Progression Trust, ASDAN and the Open University to raise of the profile of Mathematics Resilience among practitioners, funders and researchers through various projects and events.

The Second International Conference on Mathematical Resilience
Hosted by The Open University
Convened by Sue Johnston Wilder and Clare Lee
Mathematics Anxiety among Exisiting Apprentices
Sue Johnston-Wilder and Susan Goodlad (CEI)
In partnership with the Progression Trust and Asdan, the Centre for Education Studies (CES) and the Centre for Education and Industry (CEI) conducted research into the prevalence of Mathematics Anxiety among apprentices across Coventry and Warwickshire. By surveying existing apprentices, the researchers explored the extent to which STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and non-STEM apprentices are affected by mathematics anxiety, the extent to which mathematics anxiety affects choice of apprenticeship, and to what extent STEM and non-STEM apprentices are mathematically resilient.
The project was commissioned and funded by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the final report can be accessed here
