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.

Virtual Reality Applied to Astronomy Education in Primary and Middle School

2020
Astronomy is the mother of sciences. Experiencing distant outer space through virtual reality can draw students closer to it. Students can also learn to recognize the stars in the sky on the plane images displayed that create a 3D space, thus expanding their knowledge of the sky.

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

SPIE 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.

Design concepts for primary mirror structures of large optical telescopes for optical and submillimeter astronomy

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
Technologies of modern optical telescopes with large primary mirror are based on adaptive optics. These telescopes operate with many small mirror segments, so that all the segments work as a large piece of a reflective curved plate, i.e. a paraboloid.

Setting-up a network of astronomy clubs in London primary schools

Astronomy, planetary science and space science are not widely taught in UK schools. This might be considered an issue, considering the likely future importance of space science to any advanced industrial economy. There is an astronomy GCSE (exam) syllabus, but it is taught in only a few secondary schools, and there is usually some astronomy taught as ...

VISUALIZATIONS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION. EFFECTS ON THE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC ASTRONOMY CONCEPTS FOR CHILDREN UP TO TEN YEARS OLD

EDULEARN Proceedings, 2019
Human’s first attempt to visualize and represent various experiences and physical phenomena started 42,000 years ago. From these first visualizations until the modern 3D representations we can share/gather valuable information on how the world works. Visualizations have proven to be effective teaching and learning tools in science education.
