本研究探讨了在何种程度上使用动物和人类健康科学家和科学概念来描绘科学和科学家在相关的和真实的方式可以提高小学生的科学事业的愿望，对科学的态度，科学家的积极看法，并认为科学的相关性的课程模块。该课程由一个以研究为基础的大学项目开发，并已在中西部一所城市学校的两个早期小学教室中付诸实践。一个态度评级调查和画一个科学家测试被用来评估前后学生对科学的态度变化，科学家的看法，科学的相关性，科学事业的愿望。研究结果表明，这门课程的实施有助于积极的学生对科学的态度，减少学生的刻板印象的科学家，并增加学生的愿望，成为一名科学家。
This study examined to what extent a curriculum module that uses animal and human health scientists and science concepts to portray science and scientists in a relevant and authentic manner could enhance elementary students' aspiration for science careers, attitudes to science, positive perceptions of scientists, and perceived relevance of science. The curriculum was developed by a research‐based university program and has been put into practice in two early elementary classrooms in an urban school in the Midwest. An attitudinal rating survey and the Draw‐A‐Scientist Test were used to assess pre to post changes in student attitudes toward science, perceptions of scientists, perceived relevance of science, and aspiration for science careers. Findings indicated that the implementation of this curriculum contributed positively to student attitudes toward science, decreased students' stereotypical images of scientists, and increased student aspirations to become a scientist.
