Students' views of science and scientists have been widely studied. The purpose of thisstudy is to analyze image of scientist from drawn picture of scientists using The Draw-a-Scientist Test (DAST) by 5th grade students and to analyze where this image comes fromstudents’ minds in changing Turkish educational perspective. Two hundred eighty sevenstudents from sixteen different primary schools, located in the same city, participated inthis study. Like previous studies, the findings generally showed that scientists are male,Caucasians, elderly-aged, working indoors with chemistry. On the contrary, the image ofscientists, having glasses and facial hair and/or crazy hair, wearing lab coats, and doingdangerous and secrecy things decreased but smiling scientists and indicator of technologyincreased in young Turkish students’ drawings. Eventually, stereotypical images of thescientist are a slightly lesser than revealed in previous studies. The impact of scienceteachers and textbooks has shaped what a scientist is and what a scientist does to youngstudents’ minds. Notwithstanding, the influence of media (movies, magazines, television,etc.) has been pointed to as not significant source of information by students.
