Sumario:The purpose of this work is to explore the image of scientists in incoming students at a Technical School of Villa Lugano from the University of Buenos Aires testing modifications of the traditional methodological designs. 74 students were asked to do drawings and complete a daily schedule of a person who does science. Most of the drawings were male scientists wearing lab aprons and working alone, who, according to the agendas, spend most of their time working. Male students assigned greater relative importance to work activities, while female students gave more importance to housework. Although it is still necessary to refine the proposed methodology, these results show the potential of the agendas as a tool to investigate aspects of science as a dynamic process.
