BLENDED LEARNING METHODS USED IN STUDYING COMPUTATIONAL ASTROPHYSICS

Summary/Abstract: The paper sustains the importance o blended learning for teaching and learning computational astrophysics in actual digital era. Blended learning is learning method that combines different styles of learning that can be achieved through physical resources and virtual resources mixed. Learning styles refers to the many ways in which students learned and such computational astrophysics. Blended learning is a formal program of education which involves combining Internet and digital media with traditional classroom teaching, requiring the physical presence of both a teacher and students, and there is also an element of evaluation of the student while , place, path or pace accessed. Some blended methods of teaching-learning were successfully used for teaching the astronomy and astrophysics of Solar System objects to students in their final years, using real astronomical data about celestial objects from our Solar System, data obtained from the Astronomical Observatory Isaac Newton (La Palma, Spain) and a direct contact via the Internet with renowned researchers in this area of research. Such an approach to learning brings new challenges and new opportunities for the process of professional training and must have a strong understanding of adequate psycho-pedagogical various instruments to achieve the learning objectives.
