SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ASTRONOMY RESEARCH ON TEACH...

From a noted specialist in astronomy education and outreach  this Brief provides an overview of
the most influential discipline-based science education research literature now guiding
contemporary astronomy teaching. In recent years  systematic studies of effective and efficient
teaching strategies have provided a solid foundation for enhancing college-level students'
learning in astronomy. Teaching astronomy and planetary science at the college-level was once
best characterized as professor-centered  information-download lectures. Today  astronomy
faculty are striving to drastically improve the learning environment by using innovative
teaching approaches. Uniquely  the authors have organized this book around strands of commonly
employed astronomy teaching strategies to help readers  professors  and scholars quickly access
the most relevant work while  simultaneously  avoiding the highly specialized  technical
vocabulary of constructivist educational pedagogies unfamiliar to most astronomy professors.
For readers who are currently teaching astronomy at the college level-or those who plan on
teaching at the college level in the future-this Brief provides an indispensable guide.
