- 2. Designing Effective Astronomy Outreach Activities Based on Education Research • Have clear goals for our outreach • Evaluate how well we are achieving our goals • Teach questioning and thinking, not just content www.cita.utoronto.ca/~linda/eduresearch.pdf Linda Strubbe
- 3. Starting Teaching Principle: What outcomes are we looking to achieve? Backward Design: Goals First! Scientific What do we want to students to know / understand? Content Learning Scientific What do we want students to be able to do? Process Skills Goals Scientific How do we want students to feel about Attitudes science / education in general / life? Design Activity to Support Goals Revise activity accordingly Try out activity Assess how well learners achieve goals during activity Teach (formative) Then repeat / Assess how well activity document / learners achieve goals in the field after activity share activity! (summative)
