Abstract(s)
James Prescott Joule’s (1818–1889) bicentenary took place in 2018 and commemorated
by the IDTC with a Symposium—‘James Joule’s Bicentenary: Scientific and Pedagogical
Issues Concerning Energy Conservation’—at the European Society for the History of Science
(ESHS & BSHS), 14th–17th September, 2018, in London. This symposium had three
main objectives: It aimed specifically to celebrate James Joule’s achievements considering
the most recent historiographical works with a particular focus on the principle of conservation
of energy; It served the purpose of discussing the scientific and pedagogical issues
related to heat, energy and work and how they are presented in textbooks and worked out
in classrooms; It also provided discussions on the present situation of teaching and learning
science through the use of History of Science, both in K-12 and college level with an
emphasis on energy and related concepts. In the following, the Introduction of this Special
Issue on Joule is presented.
