The Baltic-German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald (1853–1932) was nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in chemistry between 1904 and 1909. Many of these nominations were based on his pedagogical works. The appreciation of Ostwald's pedagogical activity can shed light on how science pedagogy was seen in the early twentieth century and how Ostwald was considered by his contemporaries. Based on sources from the Nobel Prize archives and other documents, in this paper we discuss the views of the Nobel Prize nominators on Ostwald's pedagogical works as presented in the nomination letters and the evaluation of The Nobel Committee for Chemistry on the merits of pedagogy.

波罗的海-德国化学家威廉·奥斯特瓦尔德（Wilhelm Ostwald，1853-1932 年）在 1904 年至 1909 年间多次获得诺贝尔化学奖提名。其中许多提名都是基于他的教学工作。对 Ostwald 教学活动的评价可以揭示 20 世纪早期人们是如何看待科学教育学的，以及他的同时代人是如何看待 Ostwald 的。基于诺贝尔奖档案和其他文件的来源，本文讨论了诺贝尔奖提名者对提名信中提出的奥斯特瓦尔德教学作品的看法以及诺贝尔化学委员会对教学学优点的评价。
