International Symposium on Astronomy and Astrobiology Education: theory,
methods, impacts and future directions
(Utrecht, Netherlands, July 3-8th 2017)
>
> First Circular – June 20th, 2016

This international symposium, co-sponsored by the International
Astronomical Union (IAU) and the European Astrobiology Campus (EAC,
http://astrobiology-campus.eu/), is designed to bring education research in
astronomy in general, and in astrobiology in particular, to the
professional scientific community.

> Education has always played a large role in the field of astrobiology and
in part this workshop is a follow-up of the successful International
Workshop on Education in Astrobiology (IWEA) held in Höör, Sweden, in 2013 (
http://www.nordicastrobiology.net/IWEA/). On the other hand, education
research has seldom been the main subject in IAU events, yet the scientific
results from this field have a great potential to improve the teaching and
learning of astronomy for students of all ages. New results and research
methodologies from the cognitive and learning sciences domains can,
however, be of large influence on the work of educators but generally,
professional astronomers are not fully aware of the results from astronomy
education research.

> By this first meeting in astronomy education and by combining it with its
growing subdiscipline astrobiology, we aim to strengthen both fields
through cross teaching collaborations. The symposium is designed
specifically to expand awareness of the results of the cognitive and
learning sciences, as well as to provide a forum for active scholars in
astronomy and astrobiology education

> Invited talks will be given by international leaders in discipline-based
astronomy education research and in astrobiology. Contributed talks are
also solicited from astronomers and educators who have conducted studies in
this field, and from all scientists working in astrobiology and with
experience in teaching interdisciplinary subjects to various audiences.
Outreach will be an important part of the symposium, with a full day
devoted to outreach activities for teachers and the general public.The
symposium will feature key speakers in :

> State-of-the-art in astronomy and astrobiology education research

> Content of astronomy teaching and popularisation in schools and culture

> Innovations in research methodologies and instruments in school, museum,
and planetarium learning

> Analyses of astronomy successful evidence-based practice, materials, and
programs

> Astronomy research on leveraging new media and information systems for
teaching and learning

> Impact of the 2015 International Year of Light on astronomy education of
astrobiology teaching in different institutions and different countries

> Teaching astrobiology to a university multidisciplinary audience:
opportunities and pitfalls

> New assessment forms for multidisciplinary courses

> Teaching astrobiology to young pupils (10-16 years)

> How to present astrobiology lectures to general audiences

> Future international cooperation in astrobiology teaching and training

> Open discussions on innovative teaching and assessment methods

> SOC
