Abstract

Our knowledge of students’ ideas about science and scientists has mainly come from studies which have used the draw‐a‐scientist test. This study used an alternative procedure and obtained results which suggest that students know more than the draw‐a‐scientist test reveals. This procedure appears to be both valid and reliable and thus there is a need for caution in the interpretation of research findings based solely on the draw‐a‐scientist technique.
