论文摘要

当我们在天空中观察到太阳和星星时,幼儿,学生和成年人可能对太阳和星星的运动有其他想法。但是,对这种明显运动的良好理解是研究更先进的天文概念的起点,尤其是在包括天文观测的时候。在本文中,我们描述了太阳和恒星(Amoss)测试的明显运动的发展和验证,这些运动可以在多大程度上洞悉太阳和恒星的明显运动。我们提出了一个框架,该框架可以比较学生对这些明显动作的特定方面的理解,相对于一天,一年中的时间和观察者的纬度。对于这些方面的每个方面,我们都为太阳和恒星的对称表观运动方面设计了测试项目。测试的可靠性和有效性是通过分析中学和大学生的答案以及向专家小组提出问题来确定的。我们报告设计和验证过程,并介绍测试的最终版本。

Young children, students, and adults may have alternative ideas about the motion of the Sun and stars as we observe them in the sky. However, a good understanding of this apparent motion is essential as a starting point to study more advanced astronomical concepts, especially when these include astronomical observations. In this paper, we describe the development and validation of the apparent motion of Sun and stars (AMoSS) test, which can measure to what extent students have insight into the apparent motion of the Sun and stars. We propose a framework that allows one to compare students' understanding of the specific aspects of these apparent motions in relation to the time of the day, time of the year, and the observer's latitude. For each of these aspects, we designed test items for both the Sun and the symmetric apparent motion aspect of the stars. The reliability and validity of the test are established by analyzing answers of both secondary school and university students and by presenting the questions to a panel of experts. We report on the design and validation process and present the final version of the test.
