- W1494886528 abstract "AbstractThe purpose of the study was to investigate 3rd grade primary students' views on science and scientists. The sample was consisted of 254 3rd grade public school students, in Mersin. Primary students were asked to answer three basic questions; 1) What is science? 2) Who does science? 3) How science is done? Primary students were requested answers written, and gave a choice if they want draw a picture for these questions. This study is exploratory in nature. The qualitative approach data collection methods were applied. In this study, the analyses of documents were separated in two main parts. First one is written responses for the three questions. The second is students' pictures, which primary students draw on the page. For the analysis of stereotypic features of students' drawings Chambers' DAST score card was used. Results were discussed according to national and international related literature. At the national level 3rd grade students had less stereotype images of scientists than upper classes. At the international level Turkish primary students' perceptions/views science and scientists are more realistic than other countries. Undoubted, these positive perceptions and views affect their attitudes toward science and scientist.Key WordsYoung Children, Views, Science, Scientists.Science education reforms around the world emphasis on understanding of science and values about science in different schools levels (American Association for the Advancement of Science [AAAS], 1993; National Research Council [NRC], 2000; Turkish Ministry of National Education [MoNE], 2000). Investigating students' understandings about science is important, because reforms movements aimed to grow students as scientific literate people, who understand nature of science, make right decision about life, are aware of environmental issues, and take democratic roles in society (NRC).Reform movements aimed to develop students' views of science as a way of knowing, scientific literacy includes not only science process skills but also thinking and talking its own history, philosophy, values, and beliefs (Rosebery, Warren, & Conant, 1992). It is agreed on that, views about science and scientists are socially constructed. This means that during science, learning ideas of scientific community are concerned, but these ideas are meaningful at a personal level (Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer, & Scott, 1994).Why scientists' images are important for primary students? Students' attitudes toward science are essential, during their educational life and choice of occupation after the school. Primary students construct their stereotype images; these images reflect their v iewpoints about science and scientists. Generally, primary students have stereotypes images for science and scientist, one of the reasons it, they do not have first-hand experiences and knowledge about science (Talsma, 2007).Some researchers suggested the relation between students' stereotypes of scientists and their attitudes toward science (Bodzin & Gehringer, 2001; Flick, 1990; Mason, Kahle, & Gardner, 1991). Attitudes are affected from learning by model-making. In addition, observations affect students' views about science and scientists. Primary students observe their parents, teachers, and people on TV, in newspaper. Primary students come into schools with their own previous knowledge and ideas. During instruction students either redesign their existing views, or change according to classroom activities. One of the first studies about this topic was conducted by Mead and Metraux (1957), who asked American high school students to write about their views of scientists. The study revealed the stereotype images of scientists for high school students, as famous description in the literature;The scientist is a man who wears a white coat and works in a laboratory. He is elderly or middle aged and wears glasses . . . he may wear a beard. …" @default.
