摘要/Abstract

摘要： 随着我国科学职业化进程的深入，科学家形象的公众认知也日益复杂，中学生对科学家形象的认知具有很好的代表性。因而，基于DAST量表和编码方法，对安徽、浙江两省3所中学的448名中学生就科学家形象进行绘画调查。结果显示，发达地区学生更易获得较高量表得分，对科学家职业认知更加积极，但批判反思不足，欠发达地区学生则对科学负面效应关注略多；科学家画像的性别分布情况则表明，女性参与科学仍遭受性别歧视。因此，科技政策制定、科学家形象传播策略变化或需有针对性地调整完善。

Abstract: Within the development of science professionalization in China, the public perceptions of scientists constitute a contradictory and complex combination of traditional stereotypes. This study investigated the images of scientists held by middle school children in Anhui and Zhejiang provinces, the Draw-a-Scientist Test was administered to 448 students from three different schools. Outcomes indicates that students in developed city are more likely to get high scale scores, who are also more positive about science and scientists, it also means less critical. As for the result of gender distribution of scientists’ portraits, it showed that women still suffer from the gender discrimination when they participate in science. Therefore, the formulation of science and technology policy and the strategy change of scientists' image communication need to be corrected.
