Dr. Payel Banerjee

Abstract :

Inflow of young learned community into the field of pure scientific research has been declined throughout the world including India. The initial attitude and the understanding of the nature of scientific endeavours and the people associated with them have a great role in determining the choice of science as career. How children perceive the scientists can indicate how they perceive the nature of science. The present study finds the images of Scientists among the secondary level students through a projective technique to identify any the stereotypical perceptions. The study also indicates their understanding of the nature of science and suggests modifications in the science curriculum.
