abstract = "This study set out to explore Indian school students{\textquoteright} na{\"i}ve ideas about design and designers. Findings suggested that most students relegated {\textquoteleft}design{\textquoteright} to the status of mere decoration and associated {\textquoteleft}designers{\textquoteright} with gender and professional-stereotypic images. Insights from the survey afforded development of appropriate design activities and scope to extend students{\textquoteright} understanding of design. The study has implications for development of the design curriculum at school level in India.5",
