Exploring Student Estimates of Astronomical Scales: Impact of Question Formulation and Visualization
Peer reviewed
Direct linkWillem Keppens; Mieke De Cock; Hans Van Winckel; Wim Van Dooren; Jan Sermeus – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Estimating astronomical scales requires multiple complex mental processes, such as spatial thinking and interpreting large numbers. As such, it is a nontrivial question how these estimates can be most efficiently assessed. There is reason to believe that results from previous studies probing astronomical scale estimates are possibly susceptible to…
