TITLE: The new TUM School of Education
ABSTRACT: The new TUM School of Education is an entirely
new approach in Germany
and TUM
got a lot
of public attention after the announcement. School projects including HOU are a
major
part of
the new faculty. I will present the structure and some of the concepts. If time
permits
I will
also present some news from the Bavarian high-school curriculum in Physics and
Astronomy.

report: Developing Astronomy Education through Hands on
Activity
ABSTRACT: In Indonesia, astronomy is not a part
of school curriculum. It is only fill a
small
part of physics and geography at school. To build astronomy awareness among
teachers and
students,
we did many activities to engage their attention on astronomy as basic science.
Through
many activities we also build new community with teachers and start to spread the
information.
Teacher training is one of the best way to share
information of astronomy. Solar
Eclipse,
100HA, and other IYA activities gave us chance to gather teachers, students and
also
local
societies to learn about astronomy. Through these activities we introduce them
to many
new stuff
to learn astronomy. Making homemade project and learning new software make them
aware
about the
basic things of astronomy. Learning astronomy is the gate to understand the basic
science.

TITLE: Progress in Global HOU
ABSTRACT: Over
the last decade, Global HOU has helped educate 1000's of teachers and
many
thousands of students. Educator,
scientists, and other have pulled together to make
GHOU a 'pathfinding" international
education system. Resources are freely shared and
used by
all of GHOU, and we have found more and more impact and ways to grow. I will
review
some recent progress in our collaboration.

TITLE: Virtual Observatory in the classroom
ABSTRACT: The Virtual Observatory (VO) is a global
effort to assemble, in a unified way,
data
archives and software tools. The main objective is to allow transparent and distributed
access to
astronomical data and to make it easier to correlate and analyse
data from
heterogeneous
sources. By granting access to a huge amount of astronomical data, in a
user-friendly
manner, this effort offers unique opportunities to all people interested in
Astronomy,
in particular, teachers and students. In this talk I will discuss some possibilities
to take
advantage of VO in the classroom.

TITLE: A Multidisciplinary Approach for Astronomy Teaching
ABSTRACT: We
report the results teacher training courses held at Universidade
Federal de São
Carlos, Brazil. The
courses focused on using artistic and Web 2.0 tools to share knowledge
about
Astronomy among both teachers and pupils. Those tools were selected because
they support
the
pedagogical approach of multiliteracies, which means
to be able to select content about a
specific
theme (Astronomy in this particular experience) and shape that content in order
to
share it
with a wider community, using different languages. The results suggest that the
groups
were able
to select meaningful topics and related trustful information, but they were not
still
prepared to
make good use of the interactive tools.

TITLE: "You are Galileo!" Projec
ABSTRACT: IYA2009-Japan is distributing
?You are Galileo!" telescopes for all over the
world. The
"You are Galileo!" telescopes are small telescopes which are the same
size Galileo
Galilei used for his observations. Through these
observations, children can share the same
surprise
and discovery that Galileo once experienced 400 years ago. Observations enable
children
to think about the Univese, the Earth, and
themselves. Our "You are Galileo!" Project
is a part
of the IYA global cornerstone projects -The Galileoscope.

Propuesta didáctica para el uso de un Planetario Móvil
ABSTRACT:
El Museo de
Ciencia y Tecnología cuenta con un Planetario Móvil desde el año 1994, y ha
sido
utilizado de
forma convencional, es decir, con los dos cilindros proyectores del cielo
nocturno
austral y el
cilindro esquemático de las constelaciones australes, y además, se ha realizado
una charla de
astronomía general por intermedio de diapositivas. En algunas ocasiones se ha
mal
utilizado, de tal
forma que algunos usuarios han utilizado el planetario como supuesta nave
espacial,
utilizando el movimiento aparente del cielo (de forma rápida) de una forma que
altera
y hace perder el
sentido de lo esencialmente astronómico. Es por este motivo y otros asociados
a las nuevas
tecnologías, que he elaborado algunas propuestas didácticas con una secuencia
de
utilización del
Planetario Móvil y sus potencialidades con fines educativos acorde al
visitante. Además
incluyo la utilización data show y algunos programas y simulaciones
computacionales.

TITLE Use and development of new technologies to teach and popularise
Astronomy
Abstract:
This presentation will describe the activities we developed bto
popularize Astronomy
with the
use of new technologies such as video, Internet, video conferences and a TV
program.
Since
September 2003, we have written and presented a weekly 30-minute television
program about
astronomy
and astronautics, "Um Passeio pelo céu" ("A Walk
through the Sky"). Carried by
regional
a cable TV channel, TV Litoral, and produced by Instituto Federal Fluminense,
this is
the first
weekly program about astronomy and astronautics on Brazilian television. The TV
program
can be seen live on the Internet at http://www.tvlitoral.com.br. We also have a
blog
with a
selection of interviews at http://passeiopeloceu.blogspot.com. We have
organized
video conferences, with Astronomers without
Borders (AWB) support, allowing the
exchange
of experiences between students in Brazil and students in other
countries. In our blog
(http://calc.zip.net)
and in the TV program we have popularized these video conferences and the
activities
of Astronomy popularization. We have also organized activities for the
popularization of Astronomy for children as part of the UNAWE program in Brazil
(http://unawe.passeiopeloceu.org).
We will present the results obtained with the use of new
technologies to develop these activities in 2008 and our plans for 2009.

TITLE: Student-Based Discovery Program
ABSTRACT: The International Astronomical Search
Collaboration (IASC = "Isaac") features
student-based
discovery programs in astronomy. Students from 150 schools in 13 countries make
original
Main Belt asteroid discoveries and important near-Earth object obversations are
reported as
part of the NASA Near-Earth Object Program (JPL). In the past year important
automation
advances have been made that allowed IASC to grow from 4 campaigns per year to
9.
Other
search programs are being investigated including comets, Kuiper
Belt objects, and
supernovae.
This presentation features a report on a review of the current campaigns, advances
of the
past year, and future plans.

ABSTRACT:
In 2009 the
GHOU community is supporting one of the cornerstones of IYA2009, the Galileo
Teacher
Training Program. The cornerstone intends to build on GHOU experience and
reinforce the
already
existing network of educators. More than 50 nations have already named GTTP
representatives and workshops are being organized all over the world. The main purpose
of the
program
is to promote the training of teachers and educators. Participants in the
sessions will
be
certified “Galileo Teachers” and the promoters “Galileo Ambassadors”. The
workshops are
built
with the requirement that they promote at least one activity of each of the
following
topics: -
Use of modern resources based on new technologies for science teaching -
Reproduction
of
Galileo’s observations - Use of robotic telescopes in classroom - Use of
hands-on activities
to promote
inquire based science education.
