Strategies on Astronomy Education in the Era of Digital Transformation
Abstract
Two important strategies on astronomy education in the era of digital transformation proposed on this presentation are the uses of “Astronomy Literacy” and a “Deep Learning” through “Data Intensive Astronomy” to support astronomy education.
Astronomy literacy can create several thinking skills to young generation and public for promoting human capacity buildings on science and technology.
Nowadays, the astronomical data archives are impressively large and the “digital age” has made it easy to make the data available to astronomers, researchers, under graduate and graduate students and even to publics. Big data in astronomy has then played an important role in astronomy education both in higher education and school education. Astronomers and researchers can access “big data” for the deep learning through data intensive astronomy on their research works and school students and publics.
We hope to extend these strategies through regional and inter-regional collaboration to promote astronomy education in wider scale.
