Description

We present a project called ATENA – Asiago Teachers’ Network on Astrophysics. Based on authentic collaboration and action research, a teacher learning community was set up around the common research question of how Astronomy can be integrated into the secondary school curriculum to foster a coherent comprehension of the physics of the Universe. Four physics topics across the different grades were selected, and teaching-learning sequences informed by Physics and Astronomy Education Research were collaboratively developed. The experimentation of the teaching-learning sequences is ongoing and will be the basis for the development of pathways to be shared with more schools.
