The goal of this talk is to reflect about the achievements and challenges in Astronomy Education Research (AER). First, the answers given to questions asked of members of the IAU Division C’s Commission 1 and Working Group on Theory and Methods in Astronomy Education are discussed. Next, the goals of astronomy teaching are discussed considering content, methods, levels, resources and purposes. Given the demands and complexity of education today and the role of astronomy in this context, the potential of education research is also evaluated, taking into account knowledge, practices, policies and the training of teachers. Finally, graduate studies are encouraged, new lines of research, and surveys to identify and advertise the dispersed AE literature seeking to raise the visibility of authors and institutions are suggested. Much of the work already performed remains unknown to astronomers, because they belong to a different area of theoretical and methodological framework, and because it occurs in specific different contexts of production, culture, curriculum, materials and application. Moreover, advertising AER in universities and schools to professors and teachers should consolidate this community and establish links between astronomers and educators in general, allowing future collaborations.

“…While it is true that most straight astronomical research, whether theoretical or observational, is written in international journals and conference proceedings and are in English, this is not necessarily the case for scholarly fields outside of astronomy. One of the major astronomy education journals, the "Latin-American Journal of Astronomy Education" (RELEA) (Bretones et al, 2016), is mostly in Portuguese with some articles in Spanish and a very rare few in English.…”

In this paper, a brief overview of the 245 known academic publications that can be considered Robotic Telescopes, Student Research and Education related articles is provided. Their method of selection is described as well as their availability on the International Studies of Astronomy Education Research Database (istardb.org) database. The typical types of articles are described and their major locations of publications are outlined. From this a rough impact analysis using a blunt citation metric is used to provide a broad overview of the literature for the field as a whole. These explorations are discussed with broad conclusions presented about how to write an article in the field with some impact as well as where and what to publish as the Robotic Telescopes, Student Research and Education (RTSRE) field continues to grow.

“…Therefore, it is urgent to associate the increase of scientific production (Bretones, 2018;Bretones, Jafelice, & Horvath, 2016;GGS, 2021;Lelliott & Rollnick, 2010;Pordata, 2021) with the strategies that enable the dissemination of scientific methods. The process will be relevant to promote attitudes and beliefs towards science because they enhance understanding and engagement with science.…”

An attitude is seen as a hypothetical construct related to a tendency expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favour or disfavour. In the case of attitudes toward science, these cannot be isolated from understanding science’s processes: the path to produce, refute, and change knowledge. Thus, it is critical to promote public engagement with science-astronomy and technology with the goal of understanding content, but also of understanding what science is and how it is built. In this context, CoAstro: @n Astronomy Condo emerged –a citizen science project starts with the engagement of primaryschool teachers with the Research Group on the “Origin and Evolution of Stars and Planets”at the Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA). A semi-structured interview was conducted to study teachers' attitudes and epistemological beliefs towards science and the changes promoted by CoAstro. The interview was performed before and after the development of the CoAstro. It involved nine primary school teachers with no degree in science and who volunteered to participate in CoAstro. The results show that there has been an increase of interest in astronomy and the reinforcement of epistemological beliefs.
