Multiply Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) Products - Contract 2 Contextualised Curriculum + Maths by Stealth

Description

This will include a programme of up to 25 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and other experimental activity, including quasi-experimental trials, to robustly test promising approaches to improving adult numeracy. An open-source ‘ideas suggestion’ process was used to collect ideas for the trials, inviting practitioners and researchers to submit ideas for approaches to be trialled, followed by a two-stage assessment process to identify which of these ideas were of suitable quality to provide robust and useful results. RCTs are considered the gold standard in evaluation as they establish a causal link between an intervention and a change in outcome, providing robust information to policy makers about what does, and what doesn’t, work. This Invitation to Quote is for two products to be tested in two of these RCTs: • The development of maths content that can be embedded into one type of Level 1 or Level 2 vocational course. • A scheme of work that embeds contextualised maths content for a Level 1 maths course.
