Calculation of the hubble universe expansion constant by analyzing observational data: An exploratory teaching proposal based on STEM epistemology

Abstract

Approaches to STEM epistemology are related to the so-called 'Integrated STEM Education Curriculum integration of STEM contents based in constructivism theories of learning as a context to implement the STEM epistemology. There are two approaches for STEM education integration: the content integration and the context integration. Computational Pedagogy is a didactic model that applies the Computational Science experiment in order to collect and analyze real- time data in alignment with the practices of Computational Thinking. In this work, the inquiry based teaching and learning strategy is implemented in order to measure the Hubble Universe expansion constant in agreement with the standard Scientific and Engineering practices as a computational experiment. © 2020 IEEE.
