Description
Inflow of young learned community into the field of pure physics research has been declined throughout the world including Romania. The initial attitude and the understanding of the nature of scientific endeavors and the people associated with them have a great role in determining the choice of engineering as career. How children perceive the engineers can indicate how they perceive the nature of science. The present study finds the images of a physicist among the primary level students through a projective technique to identify any stereotypical perceptions. The study also indicates their understanding of the nature of science and suggests modifications in the science curriculum.
