From white lab coats and crazy hair to actual scientists: exploring the impact of researcher interaction and performing arts on students' perceptions and motivation for science Ruiz Mallen, Isabel Gallois, Sandrine Heras López, Maria Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

We do so through mixed-methods in five secondary schools in three countries. Students changed their perception of scientists toward a less stereotyped image, particularly where their interaction with researchers was higher. Pupils' interest for scientific careers significantly increased where drama-based techniques were more inserted into the pedagogical approach. Promoting long-term interaction with scientists in school settings combined with embedded drama-based methods in science learning/teaching can contribute to reconstructing students' views on who can be engaged in science. info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ruiz-Mallén, I., Gallois, S. & Heras.
