AUTOMATION AND RESEARCH COMPETENCE IN EXTRACURRICULAR ASTRONOMY ACTIVITIES FOR GIFTED STUDENTS

Jan-Ovidiu TERCU, Vitalie CHISTOL

Abstract


The use of automated technologies in extracurricular astronomy activities contributes to increasing efficiency, saving time and facilitating the learning process. This paper presents the importance of training students' research skills through extracurricular astronomy activities and the role of automation in this educational process, the automatic technologies used in astronomy are discussed, such as GoTo telescopes, astrometric and photometric data processing software and other tools that facilitate observation and analysis of celestial objects. The paper explains and develops the contribution that students can have to the development of new technologies for automating astronomical observations after participating in extracurricular activities in the future, if they will pursue a career in the field of astronomy and astrophysics.
