This study developed a multi-step assignment for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) safety education. The innovative task enhanced student engagement and understanding, with most students finding it a positive learning experience.
Area of Science:
- Medical Radiation Science
- Educational Pedagogy
Background:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) safety is a critical topic in medical radiation science.
- Traditional teaching methods may not always maximize student engagement and deep learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an innovative, multi-step assignment to enhance student engagement and learning of MRI safety concepts.
- To gather student feedback on the effectiveness of the new assessment method.
Main Methods:
- A three-step assignment was implemented: reading an MRI safety article, creating short answer questions, and answering instructor-compiled questions.
- Student feedback was collected via an anonymous online questionnaire.
- Thematic analysis was used to analyze student perceptions of important concepts.
Main Results:
- All surveyed students understood the importance of MRI safety.
- 79% of students reported a positive learning experience and improved topic understanding.
- Only 18% felt a formal lecture would have been more beneficial.
Conclusions:
- The developed multi-step assignment effectively increases student engagement and understanding of critical concepts.
- This innovative assessment design is adaptable to various courses beyond medical radiation science where student learning is paramount.
