Supporting Student Transduction of Meanings Across Modes in Primary School Astronomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 The multimodal nature of knowledge development and learning in science is now increasingly recognized. While researchers have focused on identifying how different representational modes afford meaning-making, the question of how students are guided to link, confirm and expand similar and different meanings across modes, called ‘transduction', has been ...

Describing astronomy identity of upper primary and middle school students through structural equation modeling [PDF]
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021 We describe how young students situate themselves with respect to astronomy through an identity framework that features four dimensions: interest, utility value, confidence, and conceptual knowledge. Overall, about 900 Italian students, from 5th to 9th grade (9–14 years old), were involved in the study.

OBSERVING THE SKY: TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR THE ACTIVE LEARNING OF ASTRONOMY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL [PDF]
INTED Proceedings, 2020 We present the design and implementation of a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) on astronomy in a fifth-grade classroom. The specific topics were the local horizon and the path of the Sun in the sky. A key element of the TLS was the direct contact with the sky, realized through repeated observations of the local horizon and of the position of the Sun ...

Primary beam effects of radio astronomy antennas – II. Modelling MeerKAT L-band beams [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT After a decade of design and construction, South Africa’s SKA-MID precursor MeerKAT has begun its science operations. To make full use of the widefield capability of the array, it is imperative that we have an accurate model of the primary beam of its antennas. We have taken available L-band full-polarization ‘astro-holographic’

The Charles Sturt University Remote Telescope Project: Astronomy for Primary School Students [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2000 AbstractThe Charles Sturt University Remote Telescope Project aims to make available to primary school students and their teachers a simple-to-use telescope and CCD camera set up over the Internet. Access to the telescope is supported by a 10 week curriculum unit of Astronomy activities. The telescope is not a robotic device. It is controllable in real
