“…The DAST has been used in many research focused on children (Emvalotis & Koutsianou, 2018), pre-service or in-service teachers (Milford & Tippett, 2013;Subramaniam, Harrell, & Wojnowski, 2013). Furthermore, many studies have been conducted to reveal whether students' images of scientists differ according to gender, age, and grade level.…”

It is important to explore children’s perceptions related to scientists for preventing their lack of interest in science and avoidance of science careers. This study aims to reveal middle school students' images of scientists, with an analysis of how those images may be influenced by middle school science textbooks currently use in Turkey. It was also examined students’ opinions related to becoming a scientist. The study is based on a qualitative research methodology. The sample consists of 98 students from a middle school (5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade). The data was gathered by four science textbooks, the Draw a Scientist Test (DAST) and an open-ended questionnaire. The findings showed that most of the middle school students think that scientists as men, happy, wearing a lab coat and glasses, working individually in indoor places. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were drawn as the most famous scientists. The images of scientists in the science textbooks were mostly men. On the other side, more than half of the students were not sure or not eager to be scientists for their future careers because of negative thoughts on scientific studies and not matching their own characters and the characters that scientists should have.

“…These two data were collected at this point of time to prevent methods influence (Subramaniam 2013). Drawings were used as a form of data collection because drawing as data have been collected and used in biology teacher education research (Ormanci and Oren 2011;Patrick and Tunnicliffe 2010) and as a projective research technique (Subramaniam 2013;Subramaniam, Harrell and Wojnowski 2013;Literat 2013;Singhal and Rattine-Flaherty 2006) to detail prospective and inservice teachers' K-12 and college experiences that underpin their current and future instructional practices respectively (Subramaniam 2013;Subramaniam, Harrell and Wojnowski 2013). Literat, for example, states that a drawing can function as a participatory research tool enabling both participant and the researcher to co-construct the meanings underpinning the drawing.…”

The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate prospective biology teachers' conceptions of teaching biology and identify how these conceptions revealed their strategies for helping their future students' learning of biology. The study utilized drawings, narratives and interviews to investigate the nature of the prospective biology teachers' conceptions in a secondary science teacher education programme, in a university located in the south-west of the USA. Data analysis revealed that three conceptions of teaching biology were common among the participants: (1) teaching biology is an interactive process; (2) teaching biology is a lecture-based process; and (3) learning biology is a visual process. A common theme that underpinned the three conceptions was the simple perspective of using lectures, apparatus and models within interactive processes and lectures as reference points to help students to attach onto biology concepts rather than relating the reference points to prior knowledge and to cognitive activities that foster optimal learning.

“…Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretmen adayları bilimcilerin 41 yaş ve üzeri, meraklı, sabırlı, düşünceli, çalışkan, araştıran ve azimli kişiler olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Literatürde de araştırma sonuçları ile paralele olarak bilimcilerin orta yaşlı insanlar olarak ifade edildiği çalışmalar mevcuttur (Finson and Pedersen 2011;Leslie-Pelecky, Buck and Zabawa, 2005;Mbajiorgu and Iloputaife, 2001;Subramaniam, Esprívalo-Harrell and Wojnowski, 2013;Türkmen, 2008). Öte yandan literatürde bilimcilerin genç ve gözlüklü olarak ifade edildiği çalışmalar da mevcuttur (Angın ve Özenoğlu, 2019).…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı, bilimin doğasının en önemli bileşenlerinden biri olan "bilimci" kavramına yönelik sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının imajlarını çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu eğitim fakültesi sınıf öğretmenliği anabilim dalında öğrenim gören öğretmen adayları oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, nitel araştırmalardan fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler 2019 yılı Mayıs-Aralık ayları arasında toplanmıştır. Araştırmandan elde edilen sonuçlara göre tüm sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının bilimci cinsiyeti algılarında akla ilk gelenin "erkek" olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmen adayları çoğunlukla fen bilimleri üzerine çalışmalar yapmak istediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Fen bilimleri içerisinde özellikle uzay, evren, astronomi, zamanda yolculuk gibi konular üzerine çalışmak istediklerini belirtmişlerdir.
