The Societat Catalana d’Història de la Ciència i de la Tècnica
is going to organize The 1st European Autumn School on History of
Science and Education. The main goal of the School is to provide training
and to encourage debate, participation and effective interaction among the
attending public and the invited specialists, dealing with basic and practical
aspects concerning the interplay between history of science and education.
The School is addressed mainly to students
of doctorate or master degrees, post-doctorates, in-service teachers, scholars
and researchers interested in the history of science as an interface with
science and science education.
The topic of this first meeting is centred around The
sources and resources of the history of science for educational purposes in the
era of internet. The digitization of libraries and museums collections has made
accessible a significant part of the literary and material cultures of science
worldwide. Furthermore, some museums and academic institutions, which preserve
this material culture of science, produce virtual reconstructions of the past
that can be used for teaching aims.
Concerning this topic, there are some salient and
challenging aspects that might deserve reflexion and discussion: The assessment
of sources of the history of science regarding their educational value, the
relevance of the historiographical analysis of sources based in their authenticity
and reliability in relation to their teaching usefulness, the remaking of
historical sources to turn them into educational resources, or the management
of application software, social media applications and learning environment
systems as tools to include the history of science in science education.
