Teaching Astronomy in the modern Classroom

Authors
Abstract:
At the heart of the teaching crisis lies the problem of unmotivated students. Contemporary Quality Education encourages for future-oriented thinking and equips all people, women and men, to be fully participating members of their own communities and also citizens of the world. This leads any individual learner towards achieving his/her fullest potential and enables a graduate student to succeed in an environment that many educational specialists around the world call a “rapidly changing environment.” In an educational model that views students as individuals at the beginning of a life–long intellectual adventure within a constantly changing society, students become the primary actors in the educational process rather than the dutiful audience of the teachers. In this paper we will discuss how Astronomy Education can influence and prepare the 21st century students for their life.
