Astronomy is taught in schools worldwide, but few schoolteachers
have any background in astronomy or astronomy teaching, and
available resources may be insufficient or non-existent. This
volume highlights the many places for astronomy in the curriculum;
relevant education research and 'best practice'; strategies for
pre-service and in-service teacher education; the use of the
Internet and other technologies; and the role that planetariums,
observatories, science centres, and organisations of professional
and amateur astronomers can play. The special needs of developing
countries, and other under-resourced areas are also highlighted.
The book concludes by addressing how the teaching and learning of
astronomy can be improved worldwide. This valuable overview is
based on papers and posters presented by experts at a Special
Session of the International Astronomical Union.
