Teaching strategies greatly influence a teacher’s professional development. Many countries have placed an increasing emphasis on astronomy education, but little research has investigated its teaching strategies and their application. In Taiwan, primary and secondary school teachers are often unfamiliar with astronomy education. As such, a need exists for the professional development of teachers in using astronomy teaching strategies. The purpose of this study was to examine the teaching strategies applied in an astronomy class. An experienced astronomy teacher and 83 high school students in Tainan participated in the study. A video recording of the class was reviewed by the astronomy teacher and a research group comprising three experienced teachers. Data were collected from the video and a factor analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS, yielding 42 teaching representations to be used for the horizontal axis of a matrix. Thirty teaching strategies identified from a literature review were used for the vertical axis, creating a 42×30 Kelly’s repertory grid. A scale from 0 to 10 was used to determine the relationships between the two axes, and was reviewed by the research group to increase reliability and validity. The results of the factor analysis indicate that four factors represent the teacher’s teaching strategies: varying teaching activities, guiding students to the construction of concepts, using data to guide student learning, and concretizing concepts. These results have also been suggested by other astronomy teachers.
