Innovative Strategies and Resources for Teaching with Authentic Data: Toward a Transformative Education

This is a poster presented at the 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/7th-shaw-iau-workshop/). Title: Innovative Strategies and Resources for Teaching with Authentic Data: Toward a Transformative Education Presenter:José Antonio D'Santiago García (Universidad Nacional Experimental Rafael María Baralt) In the digital age, teaching with authentic data opens new possibilities for transforming the educational experience. This work explores how rigorous data collection and refinement, along with innovative methodologies such as Flipped Classroom, Storytelling, Gamification, and Astronomical Peripateticism, create a dynamic and evidence-based learning environment. It proposes that after thorough research to filter and select high-quality information, students can learn theoretical content at home and then apply it through real-time observations.
