Drawing from literature in astronomy education, we identified three key ideas which are fundamental in understanding stars' functioning: spectral analysis, mechanical and thermal equilibrium, energy and nuclear reactions. The module is divided into four phases, in which the above key ideas and the physical mechanisms involved in stars' functioning are gradually introduced. The activities combine previously learned laws in mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, in order to get a complete picture of processes occurring in stars. The module was piloted with two intact classes of secondary school students (N = 59 students, 17-18 years old) and its efficacy in addressing students' misconceptions and wrong ideas was tested using a ten-question multiple choice questionnaire. Results support the effectiveness of the proposed activities. Implications for the teaching of advanced physics topics using stars as a fruitful context are briefly discussed. | Titolo del convegno: | The International Symposium on Education in Astronomy and Astrobiology (ISE2A 2017) | Luogo del convegno: | Utrecht, the Netherlands | Periodo del convegno: | 3-7 July, 2017 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29089 | URL: | https://www.epj-conferences.org/articles/epjconf/abs/2019/05/epjconf_ise2a2017_01017/epjconf_ise2a2017_01017.html | ISSN: | 2101-6275 | DOI: | 10.1051/epjconf/201920001017 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019EPJWC.20001017G | Fulltext: | open |
