Concepts about Basic Astronomy of Students in Elementary Level: A Case Study of a Hmong Ethnic Group
Keywords:
ASTRONOMY CONCEPTS, ELEMENTARY LEVEL, HMONG ETHNIC GROUPAbstract
This qualitative research aims to analyze basic astronomy concepts of 14 grade 6 Hmong students in an elementary school level by in-depth interviewing. Students were engaged to answer the 18 conceptual questions about basic astronomy phenomena by speaking, drawing and play-dough modeling. The answers of each student were decoded and categorized by determining types of conceptual understanding. The results revealed that most students had alternative conceptions about the shape of celestial objects, the formation of shadows, and celestial motion which influenced by the experiences of each student.
