Abstract

This chapter reviews the attempts to include the history and philosophy of science (HPS) in the teaching of light and vision and the lessons learned from these attempts. This kind of curricular innovation requires special effort and draws on extensive research in learning theory and cognitive psychology and culturology, all applied to a science curriculum on light.
