| Résumé: | Numerous national and international reports have recently called for urgent actions to address the deteriorating quantitative skills (QS) and confidence of students at secondary and tertiary levels. This is particularly true in science, where such skills are essential for graduate competence and preparedness. Addressing the broad decline in QS will require substantial changes to science curricula, but individuals and institutions are struggling to understand how to best achieve this in practice. This is the final report from a project that addressed the challenge, by: conducting international benchmarking of undergraduate science curriculum structures, identifying proven institutional curriculum change processes in national and international institutions, and developing a framework whereby interdisciplinary collaboration can take place in order to promote and nurture the development of QS in science students and curricula. |
