Dear Urban,

I am interested in your idea on astronomy education and to build a network.

Please count me in.

I am not an astronomy education researcher (as you know), but I can contribute concerning auroral phenomena.

Best Regards,

Sachiko Arvelius

Dear Urban Ericsson,

Congratulations for this great idea. 

I am from Brazil and I am AER.

I know you have someone in Brazil helping you, but if you need more help, please contact me.

Best regards,

Dear Urban,

as mentioned above, this is very good idea to have such a kind of network!

If you need someone from Czech Republic, let me know. I am not for full time job a astronomy education researcher, but astronomy education as general is one of my area of interest.

To contact me, please, use ResearchGate or email [email protected]

Best Regards

Dear Urban

If you wish to have folk from Australia who have been researching the ways in which astronomy is taught in the early years of high school please contact me on phubber@deakin,edu.au

I am presenting at the world conference on physics education in July, maybe your Basil colleague is also attending.

OK, thanks for your replies so far! I am very happy and will contact you soon again.

It is a colleague in Sao Paulo, Paulo Bretons, that has initiated this survey and even if I started searching in northern Europe, I will not exclude anyone and thereby extend the survey to the whole planet. So, if you are, or know someone, doing AER, who has published any papers concerning AER, or written AER (or related) thesis, please let me know!

Thanks!

Urban

Dear Erickson

Although I work in the area of chemistry education, we share the use of a language of science laden with graphics, students ignored when reading a text, which limits the possibilities of learning, so I would like to share with members of this network, the center of my work is to characterize the representations and explore strategies to facilitate reading

Best regards

Dear Urban a great idea and initiative!

I'm very interested participating to the network.

I just retired from the University of Milan-Bicocca (Italy) where I taught "Didactics of physics and astronomy" to future teachers of primary school and kindergarten since 1998.

My field of research is teaching basic physics in connection with observational astronomy, for a deep and meaningful understanding.

If you have time please give a look to the international project for "globes' liberation" and democratic astronomy

www.globolocal.net

I promoted with other Astronomy Education researchers from Europe and Argentina.

Dear all,

I am doing a master in Science Communication at DCU. I have a bachelor in Primary Education and also in Journalism. My thesis was in exoplanetary systems and I have been involved in many astronomy outreach projects. I am very passionate about astronomy and I am glad that I see researchers in AER. I am searching for a PhD opportunity in AER and I would really appreciate any help/advice etc. you can provide me.

Best,

Anastasia Kokori
