Abstract

Pass rates in courses for vocational (re)schooling of adults are generally low. Lack of mathematical skills is one of the factors that can be responsible. To enhance pass rates, most courses supply additional mathematics schooling. The present study investigated whether the effectiveness of additional mathematics schooling can be improved by new materialsfor the students and interactive teaching. Subjects involved in this study were female students following a business administration course. The results support the expectation that proper use of the newly developed materials help to improve the application of mathematics knowledge in job-related situations.
