Information about Multiply Trials
for Learning Organisations
The Government has invested in the delivery of a suite of Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) and Quasi-Experimental Trials (QEDs) as part of the Multiply adult numeracy programme, which aims to improve adult numeracy. The RCTs and QEDs will test promising approaches to improving adult numeracy and supporting more effective delivery of adult numeracy provision.
We are looking for Adult Education Colleges, Independent Learning Providers, Employers, Local Authorities, Combined Authorities, third sector, community organisations and Primary Schools to take part in the delivery of the trials.
A range of product developers are designing interventions which look like they could make a real difference. These currently include National Numeracy, Campaign for Learning, Mathematics in Education and Industry, and the Education and Training Foundation.
What are the benefits of taking part?
We’re really keen that as many organisations as possible agree to take part in this groundbreaking programme to demonstrate what works to improve adult numeracy skills.
You’ll be making a real difference to adult learners who want to improve their confidence with numbers as well as supporting your local community by ensuring that they are represented within the research and adding to the knowledge of what works.
There are many other benefits to join:
- Organisations involved in the trials can gain visibility and recognition as contributors to research.
- Participation in a trial often involves collaboration with researchers, professionals, and other organisations. This can create networking opportunities and potential collaborations, fostering relationships that may be beneficial in the long term.
- If organisations are part of the intervention group, they’ll have access to new initiatives and be equipped with a promising approach
to increasing attainment. - Free training associated with the trial offers first class CPD to your teachers.
- For those already involved in Multiply core delivery this provides an opportunity for you to grow and enhance your provision to reach
more adult learners.
