How worksheets based on data from astronomical catalogues influence key competences

Original language description

The amount of the information about astronomical objects has increased almost exponentially. As a result a large number of various lists, tables and other catalogues of astronomical objects exist. Some catalogues of astronomical objects (stars, minor planets, deep-sky objects) are available via multimedia textbook Astronomia (astronomia.zcu.cz). Online web applications were created using of these data. Another issue was to deal with usage of these catalogues in the education process. Main topic was to put emphasis on involving students/pupils in practical activities. As a result, several worksheets, instructions and exercises were prepared. Material can be used during lessons of Physics, Mathematics, Geography, English or any other subjects. It uses ICT in unconventional way. Worksheets were created based on the Framework Educational Programme (or School Curriculum) in Czech Republic with respect to use of multimedia equipment (computer, internet, etc.). Main research was done in 2011 and 2012 on a sample of secondary school pupils and university students. Learning competences were developed; it was strong development for more than half of participants, it was just average development for more than third of participants. Worksheets are prepared as a separate job. Communication competences were also developed. It should not be strange; communication competences also include i.e. the effective usage of modern information technology or the usage of correct technical language. Prepared exercises involve students/pupils to practical activities. Problem-solving competences were not developed so much. The main reason should be strict procedure for exercises based on worksheets.
