“…Drawing on this study and those of Goodenough (1926), Chambers (1983) developed the Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) to provide information regarding children's perceptions of scientists. In studies using the DAST, drawings of scientists reflected motivation and self-efficacy of learning and teaching science (Rosenthal 1993;Carnes 2000), gender differences (Mason, Kahle, and Gardner 1991;Huber and Burton 1995), pre-college students' ideas about science (Flick 1990), pre-service teachers' and adults' stereotypical views of science and scientists (Beardslee and O'Down 1961;Moseley and Norris 1999), perceptions of technology (Hill and Wheeler 1991) and choice of science as a career (Smith and Erb 1986;Warren 1990;O'Brien, Kopala, and Martinez-Pons 1999;Finson 2002;Zeldin and Pajares 2000). Finson, Beaver, and Crammond (1995) developed the Draw-A-Scientist Test Checklist (DAST-C) to facilitate ease of assessment.…”
