The purpose of this study is to develop an astronomy education program reflecting astronomical thinking to be used at science museum and to investigate the effect of the program on the improvement of astronomical thinking ability of high school students. After selecting the components of astronomical thinking through literature studies, we developed an astronomy education program consisting of four stages: demonstration and observation, and question and thinking, support and group discussion, demonstration and assessment. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, we conducted a covariance analysis on the pre- and post-tests of the experimental group and control group to examine the level of students' thinking before and after using the program in teaching and learning. As a result, it was confirmed that the astronomy education program reflecting astronomical thinking was effective in promoting students' astronomical thinking ability. In particular, this program was effective in enhancing the ability of modeling by reconstructing the observed astronomical phenomenon from the viewpoint of the universe with respect to spatial thinking in the astronomy domain. It was also effective to improve the ability of organizing the system by grasping the relationship between the elements constituting the astronomical system in relation to the system thinking in the astronomy domain. This study is significant in suggesting a specific teaching and learning program to develop students' astronomical thinking.

천문 분야는 다른 과학 분야와 달리 탐구대상인 천체들이 먼 거리에 있고, 실험실에서 동일 실험과 반복 실험이 불가능하며, 추상적이고 직접 관측하기 어려운 개념에 대한 연구들이 많다. 따라서 최근 인공지능, 증강현실 및 3D 프린팅 기술 등은 천문교과 교육과정과 연계하여 학생들의 지각 능력을 자극하고 실제 활동과 유사한 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 단계적인 학습경험을 도와 천문 분야 체험활동으로 연결시키고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 학생들이 망원경의 원리와 분해 및 조립에 대한 지식함양을 위해 3D 프린팅 기술과 AR을 활용하여 학생들의 천문관측 망원경에 대한 이해와 천문관련 체험활동에 대한 프로그램을 개발하여 적용하였다. 이 연구에서 개발한 프로그램은 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용하여 망원경의 세부 부품을 학생들이 직접 설계 및 제작하고, 자석을 이용하여 망원경을 조립, 분해 실습을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, AR(증강현실)을 활용하여 빛을 모으는 망원경의 구조를 직접 실험을 통해 확인하고 빛의 반사와 굴절 원리를 학습하는 내용을 개발 프로그램에 포함하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of instruction applying 3D Planetarium Software (Starry Night Pro 6.0) in terms of the learners' science achievement, changes of attitude (attitude toward science as well as scientific attitude), and self-directed learning ability. Participants were 198 $8^{th}$ graders. This study adopted a quasi-experimental research design in which experimental group was taught with 3D planetarium software vs. control group with traditional lecture-centered teaching method for 6 hours. The effects were investigated by independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test The results are as follows. The instruction using 3D planetarium software was more effective than the traditional lecture-centered curriculum in science achievement and self-directed learning ability. However, there were not meaningful differences in analyzing attitudes related science, the results that were so effective in elevation for self-directed learning could be gained. Students were interested in instruction applying 3D planetarium software, which was helpful for them to understand the content knowledge. Results showed that instruction with 3D planetarium software applied was effective in $8^{th}$ grade science learning.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of astronomical STEAM program using co-teaching on self-directed learning attitude. For this purpose, we developed an astronomical STEAM program and applied it to elementary science gifted students. Thirty six, $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grade elementary science gifted students were participated in this study in total having 16 students in experimental group and 20 students in control group. The results were described as follows. First, astronomical STEAM program using co-teaching was effective in improving self-directed learning attitude. Second, the program was effective in improving participants' openness to learning opportunities and problem-solving. Third, students were satisfied with the co-teaching that provided ample feedbacks and detailed explanations, and teachers perceived that co-teaching was helpful to overcome a lack of professional knowledge, and to solve difficulties of evaluation and preparing teaching materials for STEAM classes. With findings, we discussed implications for co-teaching of STEAM lessons to improve students' self-directed learning attitude at the end of paper.
