한국의 근현대 천문학은 조선시대 관상감의 명맥을 잇고 천문학의 현대화를 이루는 과정에서 역사적이고 문화적인 자료를 남겼다. 그 중 국립천문대를 거쳐 한국천문연구원에 이르기까지 주요 연구 결과물은 국가적 차원에서 보존해야 할 가치 있는 기록물들이다. 이들은 연구 환경변화의 주요 인물과 스토리까지 포괄하고 있으므로 그 과정에서 파생된 소산물도 체계적으로 조직화하여 대중에게 서비스할 필요가 있다. 이 기획 연구는 도큐멘테이션 전략과 사료 콘텐츠 세트 개발 방법론을 활용하여 한국 근현대 천문학 기록물을 수집하고 주제별로 재가공하는 절차를 제시한다. 도큐멘테이션 전략은 국내외에 산발적으로 분산된 한국 근현대 천문 사료의 유형과 지역 등 편중성을 가려내어 중복된 기록물은 걸러내고 희소성 높은 기록물을 선별하여 수집하는 방법론이다. 천문 사료 콘텐츠 세트는 한국천문학사의 주요 인물과 천문대 등 학술적, 문화적으로 가치 있는 주제를 중심으로 본(本) 기록물과 연관 기록물을 맥락적으로 관리 서비스할 수 있는 방법론이다. 이 연구를 통하여 초중등 교과 과정이나 유관 기관과 서비스를 연동하여 한국천문지식정보의 범용화와 천문 아카이브에 대한 대중의 접근 편의를 도모할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Ethiopia becomes a leading country in Africa as she possesses two 1 m telescopes which are unique in East Africa. Building the telescopes evoked people's interest on Astronomy and Space, and the passion is continued to space development and founding a large telescope. Ethiopia Space Science and Technology Institute was established, Adama Science and Technology University and other universities get in education and research & development (ERD). In this paper, status of Astronomy and Space science in Ethiopia is reviewed and collaboration prospect is studied.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the astronomy-related concepts formed by elementary school pre-service teachers and analyze the distribution of misconceptions. The study was conducted on 43 pre-service teachers enrolled in the second year of an elementary teacher training college located in the central region of Korea. As a result of the study, first, pre-service elementary school teachers' misconceptions about astronomy concepts showed a diverse distribution. In particular, pre-service elementary school teachers still had misconceptions regarding seasonal changes, which were pointed out in many previous studies. Second, pre-service elementary school teachers had formed concepts at the level of simple memorization of astronomy concepts and were having difficulty applying the concepts they knew to various cases. Based on these research results, future astronomy-related education should be directed toward understanding astronomical phenomena through the application and application of various cases rather than simple memorization, and astronomy education in teacher training courses and teacher training should also reflect this content.

In recent years, astronomy has been snowballing: including Higgs particle discovery, black hole imaging, extraterrestrial exploration, and deep space observation. Students are also largely interested in astronomy. The purpose of this study is to discover what needs to be improved in the current astronomy curriculum in light of recent scientists' researches and discoveries. We collected keywords from all papers published from 2011 to 2020 in four selected journals-ApJ, ApJL, A&A, and MNRAS- by R package to examine research trends. The curriculum contents were extracted by synthesizing the in-service teachers' coding results in the 2015 revised curriculum document of six subjects (Science, Integrated Science, Earth Science I, Earth Science II, Physics II, Convergence Science). The research results are as follows: first, keywords that appear steadily in astronomy are 'galaxies: formation, galaxy: active, star: formation, accretion, method: numerical.' Second, astronomy curriculum includes all areas except the 'High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena' area within the common science curriculum learned by all students. Third, it is necessary to review the placement of content elements by subject and grade and to consider introducing new concepts based on astronomy research keywords. This is an exploratory study to compare curriculum and the field of scientific research that forms the basis of the subject. We expect to provide implications for a future revision of the astronomy curriculum as a primary ground investigation.

This survey investigated elementary school teachers' Astronomical Spatial Concept and their Attitudes about Astronomy for Effectively Teaching Strategy. This study surveyed 53 teachers in Ulsan. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS WIN 18.0. The results of this study are as follows : First, Elementary school teachers' level of understanding of the concept of astronomical space, usually lower. In particular, the lower the level of understanding of the concept of spatial location. Second, Elementary teachers' attitudes about astronomy, astronomers generally appreciate the value of the information and guidance, but difficult for astronomers had recognized. Third, the concept of space and astronomy astronomical elementary teacher attitudes about sex and there was no significant difference according to the teaching career. Therefore, in order to develop effective teaching strategies for elementary teachers attitudes about astronomy and astronomical space concepts from their spatial position to increase the understanding of astronomy, often on the job training to strengthen the astronomers should eliminate the difficulties.

Gwansanggam(觀象監) was a royal office in the Joseon(朝鮮) dynasty, which was in charge of astronomy(天文), geographical feature(地理), calendar-making(曆數), fortune telling(占算), meteorological observation(測候), and so forth. The royal office consisted of three divisions according to the studies (學): Astronomy(天文學), Geography(地理學), and Astrology(命課學). Among them, the Astronomy division carried out the works corresponding partly with academic fields of Earth Science nowaday. In this paper, we investigate the organization and the examination system of Gwansanggam focusing on the Astronomy division. Because Gwansanggam was one of royal offices, the organization, functions, and the rules of the government service examination(科擧試驗) were stipulated in codes published during the period of the Joseon dynasty. From various codes, official books, and records of Sillok(實錄), we firstly find that the scale of Gwansanggam in the number of officials was larger than the known one because the number of petty officials (胥吏), slaves, and artisans (匠人) were neglected in previous studies. Next, we conduct research on the textbooks used in the government service examination of Gwansanggam, particularly of the Astronomy division. Despite of the shortness in contents, we estimate that this is the first systematic attempt to the study on the examination textbooks of Gwansanggam. Finally, we also make some introductions on the regulations applied to the government service examinations of the offices belonging to manual rites (禮典) including Gwansanggam.
