Questionnaire for the new journal, Numeracy

Untitled Document The National Numeracy Network (NNN), a non-profit corporation to promote quantitative literacy, will launch the Open Access, peer-reviewed online journal Numeracy in early 2008.

The NNN envisions a society in which all citizens possess the power and habit of mind to search out quantitative information, critique it, reflect upon it, and apply it in their public, personal and professional lives. To support this vision, Numeracy will promote education that integrates quantitative skills across all disciplines and at all levels. The journal will seek evidence-based articles on teaching strategies and resources, education research, curriculum design, assessment strategies, and faculty development. It will welcome contributions that make use of the electronic nature of the journal, including links to applets, data sources, images, and other digital resources.

By completing this survey you will help us to shape Numeracy to serve you effectively.
