The Draw-an-Archaeologist Test
Renoe, Susan
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v40 n3 p31-36 Fall 2003
The Draw-an-Archaeologist Test (DART) is an easy way to elicit students' conceptions about archaeology and can be adapted to other subject matter. When implemented as the first activity of an archaeology unit, it provides a starting point for introducing archaeology and addressing students' misconceptions about it. In this drawing activity, students are asked to describe not only what archaeologists do, but who they are in terms of gender and ethnicities. This activity can be used to generate a discussion on equity and to access differences between genders and ethnicities, which fulfills one of the national science education standards for the history and nature of science. (Contains 3 figures and 2 tables.)
