Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

We discuss the joint work between elementary school teachers and science teachers in the planning and implementation of interdisciplinary proposals motivated by Astronomy content. We describe the advisory and pedagogical partner functions from the perspective of two Technical-Pedagogical assistant teachers from Scientific-Activities intensified schools in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. We present and discuss some of their proposals based on the results of an instrument for evaluating attitudes towards the teaching of Astronomy by practicing teachers and student teachers in which we link aspects of personal and school biography, especially during initial and continuous teacher training, with the aim of obtaining categories to analyze and contribute to the redesign of training devices.
