摘要

我們生活在一個立體空間之中，天上的星星在我們看來好像是平面的，其實不然，實際上它們是具有立體關係、有距離遠近及前後關係的。
一般學生始終停留在「平面」的學習經驗，而教科書也缺乏適當的媒體可以配合天文教學使用，以致學生難以體會「立體」的空間感。以資訊科技來輔助教學，透過電腦模擬，將天空的星星呈現在電腦螢幕上，讓教師更容易講解，學生也可以學得更清楚。
3D星圖模擬軟體就是一個很好的工具，不受時間及空間的限制。而學生也可以透過自己親自操作進而加深自己的印象。現在科技的進步，使得天文概念在教學上也有不同的方式可以進行。如何運用3D 星圖模擬軟體教學的方式來提升學生的學習興趣及促進學習成效，將是本研究所要呈現的重點。

We are now living in a 3D space in which stars for us look like a 2D space, but actually it is not. It is dimensionally related, having distance-far and near on the one hand, and front and back on the other.
General beginners are always staying in a 2D experience of learning, while textbooks are also short of media to match with astronomy teaching, so that students are hard to comprehend the feeling of 3D. With teaching assistance of imformation technology and through computer modelling, stars in the sky will have been presented on the screen, making teachers expressions more available and students' learning more clearly.
3D stellarium software is a useful tool with no limits of time and space. By means of it, learners operate themselves vividly. Concept of space in teaching, with progressive technology assistance, has been taught in various perspectives. Rather how to employ 3D stellarium to promote learners' interest and learning efficiency will be the key to this research.
