In this paper we approach the astronomy teaching process for the students in computer sciences through the controlled investigation method on real astronomical data, using data reduction and quality control of the astrometry of near-Earth asteroids. The method used the data collected on the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) located at the ORM observatory on the island of La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands and was successfully tested on a group of students in the second-year of study.
