A participação da mulher na ciência: um estudo da visão de estudantes por meio do teste DAST
(2018) CAVALLI, Mariana Bolake; MEGLHIORATTI, Fernanda Aparecida
Understanding the need for women's social equity and the importance of giving visibility to female scientific activity, the work developed here aims to investigate the ideas of students about scientists and how they relate women in science. The DAST (Draw a Scientist Test) test, proposed by Chambers (1983), in which the student is asked to draw a scientist person, is continually required to explain the design on the back of the sheet. Then, a collective discussion was held with the students regarding the drawings produced and the role of women in science. The investigation was carried out with an eighth grade class from the Elementary School of a private school in the municipality of Cascavel-PR. We conclude that the investigated students had a stereotyped view of the scientists with the idea of a masculinized science, but that the problematization of the design provided an initial reflection of the stereotypes presented by the students. We emphasize the importance of breaking the stereotype of scientist, and it is the competence of scientific education to develop student's understanding of scientific activity. The objective should be short, defining the problem studied, highlighting the knowledge gaps that will be addressed in the article.
