Approximately 300,000 of these students take introductory astronomy each year as the last formal exposure to science most of them will ever have, and at least one-third of these students do so at a community or two-year college. The importance of investing in and devoting resources and training to serve this population - everyone, demographically speaking - cannot be overstated. Yet the overwhelming majority of those who do serve this population are lacking in both areas. The community colleges' heavy emphasis on teaching and student success creates both challenges and opportunities that educators must meet head-on using a variety of methods and innovative strategies, teamwork and faculty support systems, and clever workarounds. Here, we introduce both the student and faculty populations, examine some characteristics of both populations, and offer some advice for those looking to teach introductory astronomy at a community college.","PeriodicalId":101690,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Education, Volume 1","volume":"36 22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123424990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prather","doi":"10.1088/2514-3433/ab2b42ch3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2514-3433/ab2b42ch3","url":null,"abstract":"The Lecture-Tutorials for Introductory Astronomy have been designed to help introductory astronomy instructors actively engage their students in developing their conceptual understandings and reasoning abilities across a wide range of astrophysical topics. The development of the Lecture-Tutorials has been informed by nearly two-decades of research into common learning difficulties students experience when studying astronomy. The results from multiple studies provide evidence that Lecture-Tutorials can help students achieve learning gains well beyond what is typically achieved by lecture alone. Achieving such learning gains requires that an instructor understand how to effectively incorporate the Lecture-Tutorials into his or her course. This chapter provides details into the best practices for the effective integration and implementation of the Lecture-Tutorials - practices that we have developed through years of reflective practice from working with thousands of Astro 101 students and instructors. We also present a case study of how Lecture-Tutorials were used to promote the active engagement of learners in an Astro 101 mega-course enrolling over 700 students. This case study illustrates how the thoughtful implementation of Lecture-Tutorials can result in dramatic learning gains, even in the most daunting instructional environments.","PeriodicalId":101690,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Education, Volume 1","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121580959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
