Primary and derived parameters of common relevance of Astronomy, Geodesy, and Geodynamics [PDF]

open access: closedEarth, Moon, and Planets, 1995
Problem of selecting primary parameters has been discussed. Primaries should be defined uniquely, as well as, physically. Since no unique definition for semimajor axis exists, it should be replaced by the geoidal geopotential valueW 0 or by the geopotential scale factorR 0 =GM/W 0, geocentric gravitational constantGM be also primary parameter.

Primary Mirror And Mount Technology For The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) Telescope

open access: closedSPIE Proceedings, 1988
Candidate technologies for a lightweight primary mirror for the SOFIA telescope are evaluated for both mirror blank fabrication and polishing. Two leading candidates for the type mirror blank are considered: the frit-bonded, structured form, and the thin meniscus form.

Using a Sociocultural Approach in Teaching Astronomy Concepts with Children of Primary School

open access: closed, 2014
This chapter describes the use of a social collaborative learning approach to teach astronomical concepts. We used a repeated measure design to test the effectiveness of a teaching intervention aimed at improving basic concepts of Astronomy. Results show that children after the didactical experience were able to give a detailed explanation of the ...

Using Ancient Chinese and Greek Astronomical Data: A Training Sequence in Elementary Astronomy for Pre-Service Primary School Teachers

Science & Education, 2013
A great amount of research has been carried out worldwide to promote history of science as a powerful science teaching tool. Because the ways of choosing and using historical elements depend on teachers' or researchers' educational purpose, any attempt to support a single model-to-use seems difficult and probably irrelevant.

How Do Prospective Primary Teachers Exploit Typical Astronomy Textbook Images?

2022
Previous work has shown that astronomy textbook images can be difficult for students to understand. The main reason for such difficulty lies in the fact the astronomical images are two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional phenomena. As such, some features of the phenomena may remain difficult for the students to understand.
