description The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how stories about science and scientists, presented over a 5 week period, influence grade eight students' images of biological science and scientists. The study included 151 students for pretreatment and 121 students for post treatment, with age range 14-15 years from an urban area. Data sources included survey, "Draw a Biological Scientists Test (DABST)" and "Myself as a Biological Scientist Test (MABST)", and a semi-structured interview. Results indicated that while students' stereotypic images of scientists were not eliminated, students acquired additional images relating to biological science and scientist. The implications and significance of the findings for future research and classroom practice are discussed. The findings will be useful for informing classroom practices in teaching the nature of science, enhancing scientific literacy and developing suitable instructional materials for school biology curriculum.
