Learning
Scientific paper
The universe is the largest and most impressive possible arena for the exploration of physical principles. Educational research shows that the act of learning requires active engagement rather than passive transmission of information. Modern astronomy provides several unique advantages for the teaching of physics. It shows a small set of physical laws operating over a wide range of scales in very different cosmic contexts. It is driven by very rapid research advances and iconic telescopes and space missions. It is connected to a pervasive desire to understand our place in the universe. Although study of the universe is not like lab science, it illustrates the strengths and limitations of the scientific method. This talk will cover the best pedagogical practice for teaching astronomy and physics, and give examples of topics that provide the potential for a rich learning experience.
