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 presents the results of an initial investigation on how educators from two different educational systems engaged in mathematics calculations. The study explored the nature of the educators' solution strategies and the extent to which these strategies adhered to standard taught algorithms or more non-traditional procedures. Our future studies hope to provide more evidence of our beliefs that teachers who only know or use traditional algorithms are not readily able to assist students with developing more sense-making strategies that not only are more efficient but also reflect flexible thinking.
