Draw The Scientist Test
In week one we asked you to draw your image of what a scientist means to you and a lot of you discovered that you drew basically the same image. Judith Nuno from the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education has conducted research into this area. You will be able to find more information about Draw the Scientist Test by searching the net. I have included a research paper on e-reserve link titled: Primary-school children's attitudes towards science, engineering and technology and their images of scientists and engineers by Anne Silver and Brian S. Rushton.
