Abstract

In this work, we will show how it is possible to link the History of Science and Computational Simulation to create an environment of
autonomy for the student in his learning, thinking the student as responsible for his formative walk. Having to adapt more and more
to new technological tools, also valid in the continuing education of science and technology teachers, this student must be able to
acquire, during his training process, skills and competences of an autonomous and self-critical being. We will take as an example a
scientific debate between Jean de Boissoudy and Edmound Bauer on quantum theory and the specific heat of solids, which has historical significance, although it can be considered peripheral to common sense, for those who have little intimacy with the Historiography
of Science.
