Teaching Astronomy, Diffusion Of Astronomical Knowledge
Scientific paper
Considering that Astronomy is one of the oldest science that contributes to the human and technological development, its concepts are rarely taught for students of High School. The present research argues two aspects related to the method of teaching Astronomy. The first aspect is if it has been discussed in the classes by teachers of High School, and the second one treats of the way it has been taught by these teachers. In order to find out this, a questionnaire was applied for the teachers who teach Physics classes and work in state schools in Rio Grande da Serra, Ribeirão Pires and Mauá in São Paulo. From 66.2% of the teachers who answered to the questionnaire in the three cities researched, 57.4% did not give any subject about Astronomy, 89.4% did not use any kind of computer program, 70.2% did not use laboratory, 83.0% never took the students for museums or observatories and 38.3% did not indicate any kind of magazine or book about Astronomy. Although the majority of the teachers admit that the Astronomy influence the education of the student, they do not include the subject in their planning.
