Towards a Clearer Understanding of Students' Ideas about Science and Technology: An Exploratory Study.
Hill, Doug; Wheeler, Alan
Research in Science and Technological Education, v9 n2 p125-38 1991
An alternative procedure to the draw-a-scientist test (DAST) was used to uncover students ideas about science, scientists, and technology. A series of illustrations (based on the interview-about-instances (IAI) procedure) concerned with appearance, gender, work place, and employment were developed. Through interviews, students (n=121) responded to each illustration. Descriptions of the illustrations are appended. (KR)
