H. C. Ørsted Medal for Ole Bakander

Associate Professor Ole Bakander has Since 1980 was employed at Allerød Gymnasium, where he has taught countless pupils In his subjects physics, mathematics and astronomy, and it has happened with enthusiasm and great Joy he loves to teach — and the students love him! He has hold and Inspires his pupils regardless of their level and whether it is skilled or weak Students, and all are enriched. He unites beautifully with natural science and general education, with its broad knowledge and similar broad involvement, and is A role model for both pupils and colleagues. Ole is a developer and innovator In the field of Didack, physics, astronomy as a profession and the use of IT in teaching. He is a held and respected teacher, colleague, employee and human being, with An untiring commitment to inspiring and skilful making young people Human beings in the natural sciences.

Ole Bakander was a prime mover at national level in the development of the astronomy profession in high school, and he has taught the profession himself since 1996. In parallel to the work at Allerød Gymnasium, Ole has for a number of years been teaching physics and astrophysics at RUC and thus acted as a bridge between the high school and university worlds for the benefit of pupils and teachers in both places. He thus has a great deal of credit for the fact that Allerød Gymnasium is one of the colleges that provide relatively most students for the science education.

Over the years, Ole has had a major influence on the use of IT in physics and mathematics teaching. He was thus a pioneer in Context of the development of the FPro data processing programme, where his Special abilities to implement structures have helped to introduce New and relevant technology in physics.

He has also played a unique role in the development of The calculator, where he has managed to convey his experience from high school And its insight into the subject to influence the functionality of the Calculators that have been used in the secondary school. This has brought him around In the country by organising courses on the use of calculators for the Measurement and further data processing with FPro.
