Tecnologias digitais e metodologias ativas no ensino de astronomia

Abstract

Even being part of human history for about 5000 years, astronomy science ends up being neglected by many. It is present in subjects such as science, geography and physics, but it is not approached as a single area. Many teachers find it difficult to teach astronomical topics because they have not been prepared in their basic training, many resort to different books and do not have a single and accessible source of information. With the advancement of technology, information arrives faster and faster to the user, such as the use of smartphones. The application stores have some applications that can serve as a basis for teaching various school subjects, but there is no tool that concentrates lesson guides, practical activity guides and celestial bodies for observation throughout the year. With that in mind, the objective of this work was to propose a mobile application capable of helping teachers and students in the teaching and learning process of astronomy.
