Portable Photovoltaic Laboratory for In-Service Teacher Workshops

AbstractI shall present a series of easy demonstrations that can be carried out during formal astronomy lectures. Since astronomy is physics we have developed on Earth applied to celestial objects, there are many useful experiments that can be carried out with relative ease by physics teachers in order to help pupils grasp the workings of the universe and to relate them with every day experiences. One of the difficulties in teaching science is that we use two-dimensional pictures to explain a three-dimensional reality. Using models helps students understand some of the properties of celestial objects. Although it is important to have pupils experiment on their own, some demonstrations are so simple that it is enough to have the teacher carry them out during the lecture to have pupils grasp their importance or at least keep their attention focused on the topic at hand. The demonstrations can be used in elementary education as well as in introductory astronomy courses and teacher workshops.

For the sake of rural revitalization, on the basis of making efforts to the construction of rural teaching staff, innovative training mode of rural teachers, and the system of teacher workshops, 123 teacher workshops have been established in batches in Hangzhou in 2017. The essence of the workshop is the community of teacher professional development and the practice forms of a good community of rural-urban education, which effectively promoted the balance of rural-urban education. The establishment of the workshop follows the contemporary social background; hence it is not only the innovation of local policy and the practical experience but also the heritage and implementation of “system of training teaches as their friends” (Xingzhi Tao’s teacher education theory) in the new era. The workshops in Hangzhou formed the relatively complete construction mechanism through five aspects, including the system construction, activity form, training method, development guarantee, and the evaluation of the efforts. Three years since the establishment, lots of core teachers have been cultivated by the workshop, continue to expand the radiation effects of top teachers from point to area, so as to driving the education integrative development, constructing school cultural features, and promoting the rural revitalization.
