Examination of the Delphi Method for Establishing a Quantitative Literacy Framework in Undergraduate Mathematics Course
Emily Elrod; Joo young Park
Numeracy, v17 n2 Article 1 2024
The increased relevancy and importance of quantitative literacy (QL) have called for educational reform in undergraduate mathematics course offerings. However, lack of clear guidelines has led to wide variability in the content and outcomes of math courses meant to address QL. Therefore, having an expert consensus regarding content and outcomes for an undergraduate mathematics course focusing on QL would advance the quantitative literacy initiative in higher education. The authors propose the Delphi Method to aid in developing a framework based on expert opinions. The authors explain the Method and suggest the result of this process should yield a research-based framework that faculty and institutions can use as a resource for QL math courses.
