Informed by astronomy education research, the Sixth Edition
reflects an emphasis on learning by doing. This emphasis is
reinforced through thoughtful pedagogy and an innovative teaching
and learning package. Students get to interact with astronomy while
instructors receive the resources they need to incorporate active
learning into the classroom.
Stacy Palen knows that introductory astronomy may be the only
science course some students take in their college careers, so it's
their best chance to develop scientific literacy. Education
research shows that the best way to attain scientific literacy is
through active learning. Understanding Our Universe, Fourth Edition
makes it easier for instructors to help students understand the
concepts and learn to value science by providing activities that
can be used before, during and after class. By expanding her
pedagogy to include What If scenarios and What an Astronomer Sees
figure captions, Stacy helps students build scientific literacy and
to think critically about science in the media.
Influenced by astronomy education research, 21st Century Astronomy
offers a complete pedagogical and media package that facilitates
learning by doing, while the new one-column design makes the Fifth
Edition the most accessible introductory text available today.
Comprehensive and authoritative, 21st Century Astronomy fosters
scientific literacy by offering carefully crafted activities that
help students apply the process of science to astronomy, the news
and the world. The 21st Century learning package provides the most
up-to-date astronomy research, engaging students as they prepare
for lecture, perform in-class activities and complete meaningful
homework assignments-both in person and online. Lead author Stacy
Palen draws on her experience teaching at an open enrollment
university to build intentionality and transparency into every
aspect of the learning package, giving activities a clear purpose
and making them easy to execute without special equipment. Norton's
service supports every instructor, every step of the way.
