| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Astronomy is one of the most popular science field and publicized new discoveries receive strong interest from a large number of people. However, there are not enough opportunities to learn astronomy until high school graduation in Japan. We have developed self-directed learning materials which can be used to learn basics of modern astronomy systematically through practices to give students who are interested in astronomy more chances to learn. In this study, 10 themes handling spectral data were selected because we already developed materials for analyzing imaging data. Spectral data give us information about temperature, movements and emission mechanism of astronomical objects. It is possible for students to acquire the basic concepts and analytical approaches about modern astronomy by exercising the series of our materials.
