“…Finally, Eggen, Kvittingen, Lykknes and Wittje reported their experiences from a history of science course, including experiments on the decomposition of water using electricity, and the voltaic pile as a means of generating electricity. [45] Both these experiments featured in chemistry and physics textbooks, as well as in classroom teaching, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Building the voltaic pile and carrying out the experiments held a few surprises, which were not anticipated by study of written sources.…”

Numerous conceptual difficulties and misconceptions have been reported in the science and chemistry education literature about electrochemistry concepts such as electrolytes, redox equations, and about electrochemical (galvanic and electrolytic) cells. Other studies have considered teaching approaches aimed at improving learning and at overcoming misconceptions. This paper reviews these studies and considers strategies and approaches for the effective teaching of electrochemistry. Then, the review focuses on problem solving in equilibrium electrochemistry, especially problems involving the Nernst equation. The main findings of four studies with Greek university chemistry students, dealing with: (i) algorithmic problem-solving ability; (ii) practice on problem solving; (iii) the effect of the format of a problem; and (iv) the construction and evaluation of a website devoted to electrochemistry problem solving, are reported.

ResumoNo presente artigo apresentamos uma discussão acerca dos objetivos de ensino encontrados na literatura relacionada ao trabalho com experimentos históricos. Como ponto de partida, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica, nos websites de seis periódicos de grande relevância nacional para a área do ensino de ciências, e em especial, para o Ensino de Física. O critério de busca se baseou, a princípio, em trabalhos publicados entre os anos de 2001 a 2016, a partir de termos como "experimentos históricos", "museus" e "experiência". Em um segundo momento, devido ao grande número de publicações encontrado, foi desenvolvido um processo de triagem a partir da análise de títulos, resumos, palavras-chave e, quando necessário, do corpo do texto, tendo como intuito o de identificar quais as pesquisas enfatizavam o trabalho com experimentos históricos no ensino de Física, seja em uma perspectiva teórica, seja na manipulação de uma réplica de um aparato histórico. As propostas selecionadas foram dispostas em categorias adaptadas do trabalho de Heering e Höttecke (2014) para que pudéssemos traçar um paralelo entre a produção nacional e internacional que acabaram por apresentar escopos consonantes. Além disso, análise dos resultados nos leva a inferir que, de maneira geral, fatores extra laboratoriais, inerentes a ciência, quando não negligenciados, são colocados de maneira periférica. Assim, traçamos considerações teóricas baseadas em Historiadores da Ciência, que se pautam no viés da História Cultural da Ciência, buscando agregar reflexões ao que vem sendo desenvolvido acerca dos experimentos históricos no ensino de Física até o momento.Palavras-Chave: Experimentos Históricos; Ensino de Física; Revisão Bibliográfica; História Cultural da Ciência; História da Ciência. AbstractIn this paper, a discussion about the purposes of historical experiments in science teaching found in the literature will be presented. As a starting point, we carried out a bibliographic review, on the websites of six relevant periodicals for the area of Science Teaching and, especially for Physics Teaching. The search was based, at first, on works published between the years 2001 and 2016, from terms like "historical experiments", "museums" and "experience". Thereon, due to the large number of publications found, a screening process was developed based on the analysis of titles, abstracts, keywords and, whether necessary, the whole text, aiming to identify which searches emphasize working with historical experiments in Physics teaching, from a theoretical perspective or based on manipulation of a replica of historical apparatus. The selected proposals were arranged in categories adapted from the work of Heering and Höttecke (2014) which allowed us to draw a parallel between the national and international publication that presented resembling scopes. Furthermore, the analysis of the results leads us to infer that, in general, extra lab factors, inherent to science, when not neglected, are placed in a peripheral perspective. Thus, we draw theoretical con...

“…However, different to the field of biology education, this corresponds also to the situation on the international level. Even though there are some approaches to implement the HoS in chemistry education internationally (Chang, 2011;Eggen et al, 2012;De Berg, 2010;Niaz, 2000), this area is significantly underrepresented compared with the other areas of science education. However, there are also a few approaches in German chemistry education too.…”

Particularly in the second half of the 20th century, historical approaches became relevant in science education. This development can at least in part be explained with the growing awareness of the importance to address Nature of Science aspects in science education. In comparison to the international publications, some particularities can be identified in Germany. Most notably, using historical approaches is mainly limited to the field of physics education, only few approaches can be found in chemistry and hardly any in biology education. Moreover, several approaches have been realized which use historical experiments in educational settings. This paper gives an overall analysis the historical approaches and their role in German science education as well as some insights into current approaches.
