This study focused on the question, "What mental images do pre-service elementary teachers have of themselves as science teachers?" The DASTT-C was administered to the pre-service elementary teachers at the end of the 2005-06 semesters. As instructors, we only gave two directions, "Draw a picture of yourself as a science teacher at work" and "Answer the question at the bottom of the page to further explain the picture" (Thomas, Pedersen, & Finson, 2001, p. 300). Pre-service elementary teachers were provided the DASTT-C drawing section (requesting some demographic information at the top and providing a square space in the center of the page for the drawing), and explanation section (what you draw in the drawing section). The DASTT-C took 15-20 minutes to complete.
