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 art-based methods public perception of scientists stereotype STEM arte basado en métodos percepción pública de los científicos estereotipo STEM art basat en mètodes percepció pública dels científics estereotip STEM Science -- Study and teaching Ciència -- Ensenyament Ciencia -- Enseñanza We examine the impact of researchers' interaction and drama-based techniques when learning science on students' views of scientists and motivations for studying science. 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.
