"... Yo así, locos como los vi a ustedes, no me lo imaginaba." : las imágenes de ciencia y de científico de estudiantes de carreras científicas

Abstract

We present a study about the image of science and scientists among natural sciences students at university level. The connection between the consequences of such representations and their future insertion in the scientific field are also analysed. Defining the categories for a qualitative analysis was done based on the data that had been previously processed as per the semiotics of the statements. Both the theoretical framework and the methodology used can be considered original contributions to studies about the image of science in educational contexts. The resulting reflections will also be used in a critical analysis of teaching and learning activities.
