A look at radiologic technology education.

Radiologic technology education has been progressing for the last 80 years; however, we have seemingly reached a plateau. Educators in the profession believe there is need for a change in direction due to demands of the manpower market and outside agencies. The direction radiologic technology educators should follow has been questioned, but no definite answer has resulted. With these thoughts in mind, a decision was made at the Duke University Medical Center to survey the nation and collect data to aid its particular problem, as well as to lend educational direction.

Beam me up, nurse! Educational technology supports distance education.

The Intercollegiate Center for Nursing Education (ICNE) has recently added a second technology to its earlier distance education program. Orientation of nursing faculty to effectively use the new two-way video and audio interactive microwave system has been a challenge, and the reward for meeting that challenge is satisfied distant learners. The author discusses the planning, implementation, and evaluation of this new technology.

[Technological education: why it is not relevant to the health field].

This study discusses the National Curriculum Policies for professional education in technology, and its implementation in the health field, more especifically in the nursing field. The matter is approached from three different topics: 1) the contextualization of technological education, 2) the legal rationale, 3) the creation of human resources for SUS (Public Health system). As a conclusion, the study points out that the nursing professional would have his/her work even more fragmented than it already is. According to the study, this kind of education does not meet the needs of assistance in the present days, considering the complexity of problems related to it, the advancement of knowledge, and population growth.

Professional profile of radiologic technology educators.

OBJECTIVE: Full-time radiologic technology educators (n = 565) were surveyed to determine their demographic characteristics and professional profile. RESULTS: Overall, the majority of radiologic technology educators surveyed were women between the ages of 40 and 59, had a bachelor's or master's degree, were certified in radiography and reported annual incomes from 40,001 dollars to 60,000 dollars. Most educators spent between 1 hour and 8 hours per week on classroom instruction/laboratory and in the clinical setting. Additionally, hospital or community college programs employed the majority of educators. Demographic characteristics of radiologic technology educators varied according to the type of institution in which they were employed and by education level. CONCLUSION: Study findings show a potential loss of qualified educators in the near future and the need for increased efforts to prepare and recruit radiologic technologists into the education career path.

Educational technology to facilitate medical students' learning: background paper 2 of the medical school objectives project.

The present article is the second in a series of Background Papers prepared as part of the AAMC's Medical School Objectives Project (MSOP). This report provides information about and insight into U.S. medical schools' use of educational technology in 1998. The authors define educational technology as the use of information technology to facilitate students' learning. They note that in the last two decades, a number of reports have recommended that medical schools incorporate educational technology into their teaching programs. To gain insight into the effects of these recommendations, particularly those of the ACME-TRI Report in 1992, the authors analyzed the responses of administrators at 125 U.S. medical schools to relevant items of the 1997-98 Liaison Committee on Medical Education Part II Medical School Questionnaire and students' responses to relevant items of the 1998 AAMC Medical Student Graduation Questionnaire. In addition, site visits were made to six medical schools believed to be among the more advanced ones in the use of educational technology, to see what was happening on the "cutting edge" of educational technology applications. Data from 20 other schools were also used. The authors found that by 1998, medical schools as a group had made limited progress in accomplishing the recommended educational technology goals, and that there was a much greater use of such technology in basic sciences courses than in clinical clerkships. However, great variability existed across schools in the use of such technology and in the administrative arrangements for it. They observe that the use of educational technology in medical schools is increasing rapidly, and recommend that each school develop a strategic approach that will guarantee that it can meet the future educational technology needs of its students.

Radiologic technology educators and andragogy.

Radiologic technology educators are in constant contact with adult learners. However, the theoretical framework that radiologic educators use to guide their instruction may not be appropriate for adults. This article examines the assumptions of the standard instructional theory and the most modern approach to adult education-- andragogy . It also shows how these assumptions affect the adult learner in a radiologic education setting.
