The Astronomy Diagnostic Test (ADT 2.0) is a 33-item multiple-choice survey used to assess students' conceptual knowledge of fundamental astronomical ideas. This instrument allows different instructors to make common observations about the astronomy classroom. The results of ADT 2.0 might be used uncover students' pre-instructional knowledge, judge overall student preparedness, investigate the effectiveness of learning, evaluate teaching methods and develop new curriculum.(1) We report results of ADT 2.0 for two-year college students (N=170) enrolled in a general astronomy course. The present research establishes a database for making future curricular decisions and constitutes our initial attempt at Astronomy Education Research.
