Terms & Conditions of Use

Research and scholarship productivity among radiologic technologist educators is low. However, those with higher academic degrees and at 4-year institutions showed greater scholarly output.

Area of Science:

Radiologic Technology Education
Academic Scholarship
Professional Development

Background:

Academic roles in radiologic technology require engagement in research and scholarship.
Understanding the current professional profile and scholarly activities of educators is crucial for program development.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the professional profile of full-time radiologic technologist educators.
To assess the research and scholarship productivity within this academic group.

Main Methods:

A survey was distributed to full-time registered radiologic technologist educators.
Data collected focused on professional demographics and research/scholarly activities.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Overall research and scholarship productivity was found to be low.

Over 85% of respondents had not published in peer or non-peer-reviewed journals.

More than half reported other scholarly activities like book reviews, continuing education development, and conference presentations.

Conclusions:

Radiologic technologist educators exhibit low formal publication rates.
Scholarly engagement varies, with educators in 4-year institutions and those with higher degrees demonstrating higher productivity.
