Undergraduate geoscience students are rarely exposed to history and philosophy of science (HPS). I will describe the experiences with a short course unfavourably placed in the first year of a bachelor of earth science. Arguments how HPS could enrich their education in many ways are sketched. One useful didactic approach is to develop a broader interest by connecting HPS themes to practical cases throughout the curriculum, and develop learning activities that allow students to reflect on their skills, methods and their field in relation to other disciplines and interactions with society with abilities gained through exposure to HPS. Given support of the teaching staff, the tenets of philosophy of science in practice, of conceptual history of knowledge, and of ethics of science for society can fruitfully and directly be connected to the existing curriculum. This is ideally followed by a capstone HPS course late in the bachelor programme.

地球科学本科生很少接触历史和科学哲学 (HPS)。我将描述不利于地球科学学士学位第一年的短期课程的经历。概述了 HPS 如何以多种方式丰富他们的教育的论点。一种有用的教学方法是通过将 HPS 主题与整个课程中的实际案例联系起来来培养更广泛的兴趣，并开展学习活动，让学生能够反思他们与其他学科相关的技能、方法和领域以及与社会互动的能力。通过接触 HPS。在教学人员的支持下，实践科学哲学的原则，知识的概念史，和社会科学伦理学可以卓有成效地直接与现有课程联系起来。理想情况下，紧随其后的是学士学位课程后期的顶点 HPS 课程。
