天文学教育在地方高校的探索与实践

Exploration and Practice of Astronomy Education in the Local University

21世纪科学技术迅速发展,国内外大型天文科研仪器相继投入使用,使得天文学这门古老的学科再一次焕发了勃勃生机. 2016年引力波成功探测并验证了爱因斯坦的百年预言之后,天文学和物理学的交叉学科天体物理学已经成为基础研究的热点,为天文学的发展注入了新的活力.天文学呈现出了服务基础研究以及通识教育的巨大潜力.而在地方本科院校,天文学教育比较薄弱.本文基于国内外天文学教育以及科研进展,结合国内大型天文国之重器LAMOST和FAST的投入使用,探索性的讨论了地方本科院校开展天文教育的必要性和紧迫性.

In twenty-first Century,with the rapid development of science and technology,large astronomical research instruments at home and abroad were put into use one after another,making astronomy an ancient discipline once again full of vitality. In 2016,when the gravitational wave successfully detects and verifies Einstein's centenary prediction,astrophysics,an interdisciplinary field of astronomy and physics,has become the focus of basic research,and injected new vitality into the development of astronomy. Astronomy has shown great potential for basic research and general education. In localuniversities,astronomical education is weak. In this paper,the domestic and foreign research progress of astronomy education and based on the combination of domestic large astronomical research instruments LAMOST and FAST investment,exploratory discussed the necessity and urgency of developing astronomical education in l ocal colleges.
