Image of the Technologist

Abstract

A recent Oxford University survey has shown that there is some basis in fact for the widely‐held assumption that, in general, only the less able grammar school boys choose to take up technological studies. A more difficult problem has been to discover possible reasons for this antipathy to applied science in schools — the report of the research suggests that it is partly because there is an over‐glamorised public image of the scientist and a correspondingly low esteem of the technologist.
