THE “SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE” PLATFORM IN ASTRONOMY EDUCATION: INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL TEACHING METHODS
Keywords:
digital education, interactive platform, astronomy teaching methodology, independent learning, didactic model, visualization, competency-based approach, learner autonomy.Abstract
This article presents the theoretical and didactic foundations for using the “Secrets of the Universe” interactive platform in teaching general astronomy. The digital learning environment is interpreted as an integrated didactic system that supports and develops students’ independent learning activities. The study substantiates the potential of interactive modeling, visualization, and simulation tools to enhance students’ spatial imagination and scientific thinking. It also analyzes the pedagogical effects of increasing learner autonomy and developing reflective skills within a digital environment.
