R&D on Experiential Learning Activities with a '4-days Astronomer' Method

日本国家天文台(东京三中天文台)开发的“4天天文学家”体验式学习活动增强了高中生的学习动机。为了将这项活动推广到全国各地，我们在三个机构(一个科学馆、一个公共天文台、一所大学)和人员中进行了这种方法的实践，这些机构拥有不同尺寸的望远镜(直径从15厘米到1.5米)。因此，当我们安排导师(大约十个人)、个人电脑和用于数据分析的图像分析软件，以及少量与天文学有关的书籍收藏时，就可以进行这项工作。我们的Enquete分析表明，即使四个设施的特点不同，也可以获得相同的教育效果。

Experiential learning activities with a' 4-days astronomer' method developed at National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (Mitaka, Tokyo) strengthen high-school participants motivation for learning. In order to roll the activities out to all over the country, we have practiced the method at three institutions (a science museum, a public astronomical observatory, a university) that have different sizes of telescope (from 15 cm to 1.5 m in diameter) and personnel. As a result, it could carry out when we make arrangements for mentors (about ten persons), personal computers and image-analysis software for data analysis, and a small collection of astronomy-related books. Our enquete analyses suggest that the same education effect could be acquired, even if characteristics of the four facilites are different.
