De masterspecialisatie Astronomy and Education combineert eenjarig sterrenkunde onderzoek met een eenjarige lerarenopleiding. Studentdocenten ontwikkelen hun competenties om hun leservaringen te ontwikkelen en te verbeteren (bv door het maken en testen van presentaties over bepaalde onderwerpen). Deze specialisatie voldoet aan de eisen om een eerstegraads lesbevoegdheid in natuurkunde te ontvangen, die je nodig hebt om les te geven op middelbare scholen in Nederland.
Programme
The astronomy research component (taught in English) consists of a project in one of the groups at Leiden Observatory, leading up to a master’s thesis and an oral presentation, together with appropriate courses.
The education part of the specialisation is taught in Dutch. It is offered by the Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON), and consists of courses in Educational Theory, Supervision of Professional Development, Teaching Methodology, a specialisation course and teaching practice.
For students following the education specialisation it is strongly recommended that the BSc programme has included the 10 EC course Learning, Presentation and Communication, offered by the Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON), or an equivalent course.
