Picture of sea vessel plough through rough maritime conditions

Innovations in marine technology, pioneered through Open Access research...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering based within the Faculty of Engineering.

Research here explores the potential of marine renewables, such as offshore wind, current and wave energy devices to promote the delivery of diverse energy sources. Expertise in offshore hydrodynamics in offshore structures also informs innovations within the oil and gas industries. But as a world-leading centre of marine technology, the Department is recognised as the leading authority in all areas related to maritime safety, such as resilience engineering, collision avoidance and risk-based ship design. Techniques to support sustainability vessel life cycle management is a key research focus.

Abstract

This paper describes a new assessment tool that situates school literacy as a specific cultural, social and emotional practice. It reports evidence of the extent to which this tool seems to have helped student teachers to broker and balance different kinds of data and knowledge flows. The study shows that the tool was helpful in encouraging student teachers to deepen their understanding of individual domains and orchestrate across domain knowledge to account for why some children experience difficulty in learning to read. However, it also indicates that engagement in impactful, dynamic teaching situations helped the assessment tool to generate situated, meaningful knowledge and pedagogical understanding. This suggests that initial teacher education might need to re-think the range of student teachers’ practical experiences. The study suggests benefits in considering assessment tools and data that attend explicitly to the evidence of the wider learning context.
