The dataset comprises the interviews carried out with students, with the addition of some notes from teacher-researchers and some extracts from student diaries. The two principal methods of data collection were semi-participant observation within the classroom and loosely structured interviews. The study explored a particular and limited cohort of adult learners: these were students who attended discrete numeracy classes on a voluntary basis, who worked with very good teachers and were generally very well motivated. As this is a relatively small scale, interpretative project the researchers are unable to claim that their findings are representative of a larger population. Nevertheless, they consider their findings have wider implications for the teaching and learning of adult numeracy.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.nrdc.org.uk/projects_details.asp?ProjectID=31" title=project webpage">Project webpage</a><br> England BerkshireGloucestershireGreater London IndividualsSubnational Adult students in numeracy classes TextSemi-structured interview notes; observation field-notes, participants' diaries Cross-sectional (one-time) study Purposive selection/case studiesVolunteer sample Face-to-face interviewObservationDiaries <p>The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.</p><p>Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
