Um The teaching of astronomy as a tool for understanding physical concepts in elementary and high school

the impact of digital tools such as SkyView and Solar System Scope on learning

Abstract

The teaching of Astronomy plays an essential role in scientific education, providing stu-dents with a deeper understanding of physical and astronomical phenomena. The inte-gration of educational technologies has enabled new didactic approaches that make learning more interactive and accessible. This study investigates the impact of digital tools such as SkyView and Solar System Scope on learning astronomical concepts in Elementary and High School. The research is based on a literature review, analysis of active methodologies, and reports from teaching experiences. The results indicate that using these tools contributes to more dynamic teaching, enhancing visualization and assimilation of astronomical concepts while stimulating students' interest in science. However, challenges such as teacher training and technological infrastructure still need to be addressed for more effective implementation.
