The research was made using the case study method, which is a qualitative research method. The research was carried out in a secondary school in Düzce province in the 2019-2020 academic years. 64 8th grade students participated in the study. In the research "Draw-A-Scientist-Test (DAST)" and semi-structured interview forms were used as data collection tools. Descriptive analysis and content analysis methods were used to analyze the data. As the result of the research, it is observed that the scientists’ image in students’ minds is predominantly male. The students explain the main reasons for having such a stereotypical image on scientists’ genders as their personal observations, visual media, printed sources and popular scientists. On the other hand, it is also observed that scientist’ image in some students’ mind is female and these students explain this situation as a reaction to the visual media, printed sources and traditional gender stereotypes. Considering these reasons, it is thought that posts shared on these sources concerning scientists can be revised and the stereotyped scientist images that may occur in the students can be prevented.}, number={1}, publisher={Ahmet İlhan ŞEN}
