The following two topics of this seminar, the organizing committee is looking forward to hearing the voice from the first -tier teachers from the school:

1. Astronomy Education in Practice

(1)*Primary school astronomical education: how to teach, how to teach, and to teach in what context

(2)*Middle School astronomical education: use astronomy as an independent discipline to teach separately

(3)*Middle School astronomical education: as a pushing agent of science education -teaching as a part of physics, chemistry, geography or other disciplines

(4)*Middle School astronomical education: tied with art, music, philosophy, etc., and use astronomy as one of the non -STEM subjects

2.*Contemporary students who face climate change: What can astronomy do?

In addition, there are three topics, looking forward to Chinese astronomers, educators, astronomy researchers, and any astronomical enthusiasts engaged in or planned to engage in astronomical education: actively participate:

1. Astronomy & Curriculum

(1) Astronomy enters the school course: How to attract the attention of the education department and leaders?

(2) How to develop a set of astronomy courses

2. Insights from Astronomy Education Research (

(1) The role of astronomy education research in school astronomical education

(2) Students' interest in astronomy and other disciplines: research and practical experience

3. Gravity waves, black holes, and outer planets: Can cutting -edge results be presented in school?
