Abstract

The Baltic-German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald (1853–1932) was nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in chemistry between 1904 and 1909. Many of these nominations were based on his pedagogical works. The appreciation of Ostwald's pedagogical activity can shed light on how science pedagogy was seen in the early twentieth century and how Ostwald was considered by his contemporaries. Based on sources from the Nobel Prize archives and other documents, in this paper we discuss the views of the Nobel Prize nominators on Ostwald's pedagogical works as presented in the nomination letters and the evaluation of The Nobel Committee for Chemistry on the merits of pedagogy.

奥斯特瓦尔德的教育学:诺贝尔奖提名信分析

波罗的海的德国化学家威廉·奥斯特瓦尔德（1853–1932）在1904年至1909年间多次获得诺贝尔化学奖提名。其中许多提名都是基于他的教学作品。对奥斯特瓦尔德教学活动的欣赏可以揭示二十世纪初科学教育学是如何被看待的，以及奥斯特瓦尔德是如何被他的同时代人所考虑的。本文根据诺贝尔奖档案和其他文献资料，讨论了诺贝尔奖提名人在提名信中对奥斯特瓦尔德教育学著作的看法，以及诺贝尔化学委员会对教育学优点的评价。

期刊介绍： Ambix is an internationally recognised, peer-reviewed quarterly journal devoted to publishing high-quality, original research and book reviews in the intellectual, social and cultural history of alchemy and chemistry. It publishes studies, discussions, and primary sources relevant to the historical experience of all areas related to alchemy and chemistry covering all periods (ancient to modern) and geographical regions. Ambix publishes individual papers, focused thematic sections and larger special issues (either single or double and usually guest-edited). Topics covered by Ambix include, but are not limited to, interactions between alchemy and chemistry and other disciplines; chemical medicine and pharmacy; molecular sciences; practices allied to material, instrumental, institutional and visual cultures; environmental chemistry; the chemical industry; the appearance of alchemy and chemistry within popular culture; biographical and historiographical studies; and the study of issues related to gender, race, and colonial experience within the context of chemistry.
