16:30-17:00: Presentation by Timothy F. Slater, Physics and Astronomy - University of Wyoming, United States
Since the advent of teachers teaching under the curved dome of the planetarium, educators have wondered how much students can learn in such a unique environment. Decades of repeated two-group comparison research studies consistently show that in and of itself, the planetarium on its own is rarely a measurably better learning environment than a traditional classroom. However, when specific modifications are made that leverage contemporary teaching techniques in the planetariums, planetariums can in fact produce higher education achievement gains than many classrooms. In this session, we will explore which teaching modifications enhance learning in the planetarium and which, perhaps surprisingly, do not and debate what the next generation of highly impactful planetarium education programs might look like.
