Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Cavicchi completed a doctor of education (EdD) degree at Harvard University; masters' degrees at Harvard, Boston University and MIT; undergraduate degrees at MIT. She has written and presented internationally on explorations interweaving history, science phenomena, teaching and learning. At MIT's Edgerton Center, Cavicchi encourages learners to be explorers. Her seminars provide direct experiences with observation, experiment, instruments, history and social justice. Peter Heering is professor of physics and its didactics at the Europa-Universität Flensburg, Germany. His research focuses on the history of physics, especially experimental practice, which he investigates using the replication method, the use of historical content in science education, and the historical development of teaching experiments in physics education.
