In sum, the present study contributes to the field of science education by studying the image of animal gender by aboriginal elementary student. Besides, the formation of image of animal gender by aboriginal elementary student was analyzed too. Based on the research results, several research implications are suggested to the practice of elementary science teaching and learning.
