项目摘要

In FY2003, we have installed the "first" oversea Internet Observatory to Tema Secondary School, Ghana, after 2 times of visits to that country : during the first visit(August 2003), all the negotiations were done and the observatory site was determined ; and actual construction work was done during the second visit(November through December 2003). Ghana Internet Observatory was used at class at elementary schools in Hondo-shi and Shinwa-machi, Kumamoto, for the first time(15 and 16 December 2003). Night sky of Ghana was successfully viewed via the Internet and it was promising that real-time viewing of night sky with the Internet Observatory would become a useful tool for astronomy education.In FY2004, the observatory has received continuous minor improvements and some maintenance works, while it has been used intensively at classrooms : such activities took place at elementary schools in Hondo-shi and Shinwa-machi, a junior high school in Kumamoto-shi, an elementary school in Sapporo- … More shi, and elementary schools attached to Kumamoto University, Hokkaido University of Education, and Chiba University. It is noteworthy that students showed strong interests in images of heavenly bodies received from Ghana Observatory and in such activities(we have surveyed before and after how they are interested in the subjects). The class at the elementary school attached to Kumamoto University(February 2005) was reported on a TV news, indicating our project is now getting public attentions.In addition to the classroom uses, the Internet Observatory was utilized in Life-long Education, at a Science Museum, and demonstrated at a symposium of Center for Educational Computing. Reports were made in both years at the annual meetings of Astronomical Society of Japan.As there have been so many things to do(installation of observatory and teaching at classrooms), we were not able to write up a comprehensive report of the project. However, important results have been summarized in two graduate theses so that we should soon be able to publish papers. To summarize, the project has been so successful and this new tool surely will open a new era in science education, we believe. Less

在2003财政年度，我们对加纳的特马中学进行了两次访问，在那里安装了“第一个”海外互联网观测站：在第一次访问期间（2003年8月），完成了所有谈判，并确定了观测站的位置;在第二次访问期间（2003年11月至12月），完成了实际建设工作。加纳因特网观察站首次在熊本本堂市和新和町的小学课堂上使用（2003年12月15日和16日）。通过因特网成功地观测了加纳的夜空，利用因特网观测台实时观测夜空有望成为天文学教育的一个有用工具。2004财政年度，观测台不断得到小的改进和一些维修工作，同时在教室里大量使用：这些活动在本堂市和新和町的小学、熊本市的初中、札幌的小学、 ...更多信息市，以及附属于熊本大学、北海道教育大学和千叶大学的小学。值得注意的是，学生们对从加纳天文台收到的天体图像和这类活动表现出浓厚的兴趣（我们在前后调查了他们对这些科目的兴趣）。2005年2月，电视新闻报道了在熊本大学附属小学的课堂，这表明我们的项目正在受到公众的关注。除了课堂使用之外，互联网观测站还被用于终身教育，在科学博物馆，并在教育计算中心的研讨会上进行了演示。这两年的报告都是在日本天文学会的年会上进行的。由于有太多的事情要做（安装天文台和教室教学），我们无法撰写一份全面的项目报告。然而，重要的成果已经总结在两个研究生论文，使我们应该很快能够发表论文。总而言之，这个项目非常成功，我们相信，这个新工具一定会开启科学教育的新时代。少
