A Sense of History: History of Science and the Teaching of Introductory Quantum Theory.
Kragh, Helge
Science and Education, v1 n4 p349-63 1992
Based on the example of the history of the photoelectric effect as a case in teaching introductory quantum theory, it is argued that the dilemma between "historical truth" and "didactic usefulness" may be circumvented by focusing on a few, carefully selected case studies. The early introduction of the light-quantum is discussed. (Contains 25 references.) (Author/MDH)
