Conference: Objects of Understanding: Historical Perspectives on Material Artifacts and Practices in Science Education

Europa-Universität Flensburg (Germany)

18. - 22. July 2022
Flensburg

In this conference, objects will be discussed, that were explicitly designed for the purpose of science education such as teaching demonstrations and students’ experiments, models and collections of specimens. Moreover, the relationship between teaching and research instruments and collections, and the practices associated with them will be adressed.

The organizers of 'Objects of Understanding' explicitly want to bring together objects and practices from the different contexts and periods of science teaching in schools and technical training institutes, the formation of future scientists at universities, and teaching a general audience about and through science. Following the conference Learning by Doing hosted in 2009 at the University of Regensburg, they invite historians of science as well as scholars from neighboring fields such as material culture studies, history of education and science museums to present their work on the historical development and role of objects that were intended to represent, present and transfer knowledge within the scientific disciplines.
