In this study, the image of scientists and the self-image in terms of stereotypical masculine and feminine characteristics were investigated for 562 primary and secondary school students. The perceived differences between the image of scientists and the self-image were quantified and compared across grade levels and gender. Their relationships with science-related attitudes were also studied. The results indicated that students hold more masculine characteristics in the image of scientists and more feminine characteristics in the self-image. The perceived differences between the image of scientists and the self-image were greater for female students than male students. Female students also had more negative attitudes than male students on Career Interest in Science and Enjoyment of Science Lesson of the Test of Science-Related Attitudes. It was found that the differences between the perceived images were negatively correlated with science-related attitudes. Although the relationships were found to be statistically significant, the magnitudes were relatively small. Educational implications are discussed.

This study investigated the effect of career education using female scientists role models on science-related attitude, science career awareness, gender stereotype of science-related career, and image of scientists. Interaction effect with students' gender were also investigated. The subjects of this study were 70 $5^{th}$ grader. The experimental group was introduced career education using female scientists role models with 7 cases of female scientists in the form of 10 minutes movies or cartoons, while the comparison group performed reading science books. The results showed that science-related attitudes and science career awareness of experimental group were significantly higher than control group, not only for girls but has for boys. Gender stereotype of science-related career has changed more neutrally in experimental group. After the career education using female scientists role models, more female scientists were presented in students' image of scientist in DAST. This results showed positive effects of the career education using female scientists role models and educational implications were discussed.

학습자들이 갖고 있는 과학자 이미지는 과학학습이나 과학 관련 직업 선택에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 과학자의 이미지는 주로 그리기 분석법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 그리기 분석법은 그리는 것에 제한이 있어 주로 과학자의 외형적인 이미지를 분석하였다. 과학교사들이 갖고 있는 과학자의 이미지 및 과학 관련 직업에 대한 인식은 학생들의 과학학습이나 과학 관련 직업 선택에 중요한 요인이다. 하지만 과학교사들을 대상으로 하는 연구는 부족한 편이다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 의미분석법을 통해서 과학자 이미지 측정도구를 개발하고 적용하여 측정 도구의 유용성을 알아보고, 중등 예비 과학교사의 과학자 이미지 및 과학 관련 직업에 대한 인식을 조사하여 교육적 시사점을 논의하는 데 있다. 연구 대상은 사범대학교에서 과학교육을 전공하는 2, 3학년 남학생 79명, 여학생 55명 총 134명이다. 연구결과 과학자 이미지 측정도구는 '능력', '평가', '활동', '정서'의 4개 요소, 24문항으로 구성되었다. 개발한 측정도구를 활용하여 중등 예비 과학 교사들에게 적용한 결과 과학자의 '평가', '능력', '활동' 요소에 대한 이미지는 높은 반면에 '정서'는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 통계적인 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 과학 관련 직업에 대해서는 '힘들다', '전문적이다', '똑똑해야한다', '복잡하다' 등으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 남학생들은 '힘들고 어렵다'라고 인식하는 반면 여학생들은 '도전적이고 복잡하다'라고 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 과학자 이미지 측정도구 활용의 유용성 및 중등 예비 과학교사들의 과학자 이미지, 과학 관련 직업에 대한 교육적 시사점을 논의하였다.

By analyzing a national survey of public understanding of science and technology, this paper attempts to examine public perceptions of scientists and engineers in Korea. A special attention is given to the gap in the view of scientists and engineers across generation, gender, and class fields (or major fields). This paper shows that generation has the strongest effect on public perceptions of scientists and engineers among all the socio-demographic factors examined in this study. Those over 50 are more likely to have the conventional idealized images of scientists and the stereotypical negative images of scientists simultaneously, while the 20s are less likely to accept the idealized image of scientists. The survey result thus may suggest that the younger generation began to depart from a patriotic and moral description of scientists and engineers-for the younger generation, science and engineering is losing moral respect but becomes perceived as an ordinary occupation. Contrary to the popular belief, however, gender has little effect on public perceptions of scientists and engineers. This finding questions the assertion that female students possess more negative attitudes toward scientists and engineers than male students, and thus are reluctant to develop careers related to science and engineering. By uncovering that class fields (or major areas) have no effect on the image of scientists, this study also call into question the assertion in the science wars that the inadequate appreciation of science particularly among those who do not major in science and engineering is responsible for inadequate support for science and technology.

본 연구에서는 학생들이 과학과 과학자에 대한 이미지를 다양화하기 위해 과학자들의 인간적인 면이 드러난 에피소드를 활용한 '과학자의 희로애락 프로그램'을 개발해 학생들의 반응을 파악했다. 과학자의 다양한 이미지를 학습자에게 제공함으로써 과학자에 대한 이미지가 어떻게 다양해졌는지, 자신의 과학 학습과 진로에 어떻게 영향을 주었는지 살펴보았다. 프로그램은 과학자의 희로애락 관련 총 5개 주제, 10차시로 구성되었고, 20명의 고등학생들이 참여했으며 이 중 5명의 수업 전후 조사지, 수업 중 상호 작용, 활동지 자료, 면담 자료, 수업현장 노트 등을 심층 분석했다. 과학자의 인간적인 면을 나타내는 수업의 흐름은 먼저 과학자에 대한 이미지 떠올리기, 과학사 에피소드 읽기, 과학자의 인간적 측면 탐색하기, 과학자의 상황 공감하기, 과학자의 인간적 측면 평가하기 등의 단계로 구성되었다. 프로그램에 참여한 학생들은 과학자도 감정을 가진 평범한 사람이라는 것을 알게 되었고, 과학자에게 친밀감을 느끼게 되었으며, 과학자가 될 수 있다는 자신감도 갖게 되었다. 학생들이 과학자의 다양한 측면을 이해하게 됨으로써 과학과 과학자에 대해 더 큰 지지를 보낼 수 있는 과학적 소양을 갖추게 될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze students', preservice teachers and inservice teachers' images of scientists. For the purpose of this study, we selected 711 people. The results generally was showed the students, preservice teachers and inservice teachers have the stereotyped image of scientists. When we group the subject of investigation as elementary-school students, middle-school students, high-school students, preservice teachers, inservice elementary-school teachers, and looked into whether there were meaningful differences among them by the method of ANOVA, we could see the meaningful differences (p<0.05). And also elementary-school students showed the meaningful difference from other groups when examined on the $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test.

We investigated perceptions and image analysis on scientists studying small organisms reflected in elementary student's drawing using a modified version of the Drawing-A-Scientist-Test. The participants were 530 of fifth and sixth graders consisted of 449 ordinary students and 81 science gifted students. The data were collected from associated words, images and explanatory notes depicted by students engaged in questionnaires. The results indicated that a larger number of students reminded small sized animals and/or plants as words associated with small organisms. In addition, some students depicted anthropomorphic or abstract microorganisms. In this study, more stereotypes of scientists' appearance were exhibited at sixth graders and city region group. Most of the students depicted indicators such as lab coat, glasses, scientific instruments for observing, indoor, male and young, whereas only a few students depicted collaborative work. There was statistically significant difference between girls and boys, because boys perceived male scientists only, while half of girls depicted female. More frequent research instruments and scientific captions were used when science gifted students depicted scientists studying small organisms. These results could be contributed to education on microorganisms in elementary science.

Image analyser was used to understand the condition of skin surface and to evaluate the efficacy of cosmetic treatment. It was unsatisfactory to analyse skin surface structure although several methods using image analyser had been presented. We developed the new system composed of image analyser and Tandem Scanning Reflected Light Microscope (TSRLM) having the remarkable optical sectioning property as image input device. By using this new system, we quantitatively measured the change of skin surface, the depth and width of furrow in micron unit, resulted by cosmetic treatments. And also three dimensional image of skin was reconstructed with serial sectioned images, which were captured through TSRLM, for better understanding of the effect of cosmetic treatment. It was found that skin relief was more easily understood and the change of skin surface caused by cosmetic treatment was more accurately measured by using this system. In addition, we was also aware of the possibility of in vivo direct measurement of skin furrow without replica. It was conceivable that our system could be applicable for study of cosmetic effects further.
