Slater discusses the effectiveness of different strategies like lectures, flipped classrooms, think-pair-share activities, and tutorial approaches. He emphasizes that students learn best when they are actively engaged in discussion and problem-solving rather than passively listening to lectures. The document also highlights strategies developed by Slater and his colleagues to scaffold students' learning of scientific inquiry using Hubble Space Telescope data.
This document discusses how to identify and formulate a research problem. It begins by comparing starting a research investigation to embarking on a journey through a maze, noting there may be different routes to reach the goal but the key is determining where to begin. It then provides examples of potential sources of interest that could inspire research topics, such as daily life experiences, academic readings, and personal hobbies. The document emphasizes the importance of narrowing down a topic and provides steps for doing so, including listing criteria for evaluating a good research problem. Finally, it discusses characteristics a research problem should have such as being specific, realistic, time-bound, measurable, and attainable.

This document provides an introduction and overview of an astronomy lecture. It begins by introducing the lecturer, Hayato Shimabukuro, including his educational and professional background. It then discusses why students should study astronomy, noting that while it may not lead directly to high pay, astronomy can enrich one's mind and help humans understand the universe. The document outlines key topics that will be covered in the lecture, including the history of astronomy, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. It also describes how student performance will be evaluated.
This document discusses using sidewalk astronomy as a public outreach strategy. It summarizes research on visitors to the Science Centre Observatory and sidewalk astronomy events. Visitors to the observatory tended to be young, educated and learn astronomy online but did not represent the general public. Sidewalk events attracted non-museum goers and were more effective for public education. Surveys found that sidewalk attendees had little prior stargazing experience but were curious and felt the events increased their understanding and awareness of astronomy. The document concludes sidewalk astronomy is a good way to partner with local communities and reach more people to fulfill the mission of promoting science interest.

Do you believe in ghosts? What actually are ghosts? “Creatures” that do not exist but we can see them. Are there any such “creatures” around us? Let’s have a look at the night starry sky. We can see all these stars, but many of them are not existing any more. Light speed has an upper limit but all these stars can be hundreds or thousands light years away. We can only “see” what “light” brings to us, but the light source can already be destroyed while the ‘light” is traveling to us. We ask students to think about all these amazing phenomena. Then we use the “Faulkes Telescope Project” to observe some stars, nebulas and galaxies. We search for their distance from the Earth and we go back to earth history. A star 2000 light years away has send it’s light to us when Christ was born! Maybe we are just observing the star’s ghost.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
