摘要

天文学是最古老的科学,与物理学中最重要概念的发展有关。课程描述涵盖了从史前到现代宇宙学的演变,并给予了该主题的哲学含义应有的份量。这种教学法旨在培养学生的写作和推理能力。这门新开发的课程面向三种不同的受众:一所主要公立大学的非理科专业学生、参加该课程以充实自己的成人社区成员,以及全球范围内参加大规模在线开放课程(MOOC)的终身成人学习者。课程内容以哲学、物理学和天文学的学术文献为基础。主题按时间顺序分为13个主题:古代天空、希腊科学、革命、望远镜、重力、进化、制图、相对论、量子理论、恒星和原子、星系、大爆炸和宇宙中的生命。在标准的大学学期中,这些主题以每周一个的速度呈现,并被解析为五个两个小时的课程,供当地社区的观众使用,以及为在线MOOC观众提供七周的自定进度视频讲座。

Knowing the Universe: Teaching the History and Philosophy of Astronomy
Astronomy is the oldest science, with connections to development of the most important concepts in physics. A course is described that covers its evolution from prehistory to modern cosmology, giving due weight to the philosophical implications of the subject. The pedagogy is designed to let students develop their writing and reasoning skills. The newly developed course has been delivered to three distinct audiences: non-science majors at a major public university, adult community members taking the course for enrichment, and a worldwide audience of lifelong adult learners who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC). Class content is informed by the scholarly literature on philosophy and the history of physics and astronomy. Subject matter is divided into thirteen chronological topics: Ancient Skies, Greek Science, Revolutions, Telescopes, Gravity, Evolution, Mapping, Relativity, Quantum Theory, Stars and Atoms, Galaxies, the Big Bang, and Life in the Universe. The topics are presented at a rate of one per week during the standard university semester, and they are parsed into five two-hour sessions for the local community audience and seven weeks of self-paced video lectures for the online MOOC audience.
