Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of adult learning theories and their practical applications, with a focus on numeracy and mathematics education. It begins by defining adult learning and discussing its relevance to various contexts, including personal and professional environments. The chapter critically examines how different adult learning theories—such as transformative learning and experiential learning—inform instructional strategies and address diverse learner needs. It integrates recent research findings on numeracy practices and highlights their implications for both theoretical development and practical implementation. The chapter concludes by suggesting areas for future research and offering recommendations for educators to enhance adult learning experiences through targeted pedagogical approaches. Overall, it aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing a comprehensive overview for scholars and practitioners in the field of adult education.
