Abstract
Although astronomical observation has various educational effects and values, studies conducted in the context of earth science education have been relatively insufficient compared with other fields. In addition, few studies have been conducted on systematic design principles development guiding teachers in the application of practical astronomical observation education. In this study, we attempted to develop design principles for astronomical observation education programs for K-12 students and applied the program to the classes. The initial design principles were derived through literature research and revised through validation processes by eight experts. The final principles were confirmed based on the usability evaluation of two high school teachers, and they included 11 design principles and 27 detailed guidelines. In addition, an astronomical observation education program consisting of eight lessons was designed by applying the final design principle. This program was applied to after-school classes in high school, the responses of participating students were investigated. We anticipate our design principles can be used as a criterion for systematic design of various types of observation activities, including outdoor observations.
