Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

In a hybrid world, we combine Astronomical Peripatetism and the Flipped Classroom to teach astronomy. Students acquire theoretical knowledge at home through videos and digital resources. During face-to-face sessions, we use the night sky as a blackboard to reinforce and apply this knowledge through live observations and interactive discussions. This approach promotes active and participatory learning, extending education beyond the physical classroom and fostering a personal connection with the universe. Our project integrates innovative pedagogical strategies and technological tools to make astronomy accessible and meaningful for a diverse audience.

Biography:

I am a university professor specializing in biology, chemistry, education, and technology. In addition to my teaching duties, I lead an astronomy club in our city, where we implement innovative methods such as Astronomical Peripateticism and the Flipped Classroom to teach astronomy. I am enrolled in a research line focused on astronomical education, developing projects that aim to make astronomy accessible and meaningful for everyone. My passion for teaching and astronomy drives me to explore new ways to inspire my students and foster their curiosity about the universe.
