Astronomy leads to an understanding of the history and nature of
science, and attracts many young people to education in science and
technology. But while in many countries astronomy is not part of
the standard curriculum, many scientific and educational societies
and government agencies have produced materials and educational
resources in astronomy for all educational levels. This volume
highlights the general strategies for effective teaching and
introduces innovative points of view regarding methods of teaching
and learning, particularly those using new technologies. Technology
is used in astronomy both for obtaining observations and for
teaching. The book also presents ideas for how astronomy can be
connected to environmental issues and other topics of public
interest. This valuable overview is based on papers and posters
presented by many of the world's leading astronomy educators at a
Special Session of the International Astronomical Union General
Assembly in Prague in 2006.
