Summary
This study developed authentic learning activities to improve radiography students' application of radiation safety regulations during off-campus workplace learning. Findings identified specific learning gaps and hospital non-compliance areas for enhanced radiation protection.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging Education
- Radiation Safety Regulations
- Workplace Learning
Background:
- Radiography students often struggle to apply radiation safety theory during off-campus clinical placements.
- A design-based research approach was used to address this educational challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop authentic learning activities and assessments for radiation safety.
- To facilitate flexible, blended learning for off-campus radiography students.
Main Methods:
- A survey was administered to second-year radiography students using QuestionPro.
- Authentic learning and assessment were contextualized with safety regulations via Delphi process.
- Flexible learning was delivered via email and WhatsApp; assessments collected via mobile phones.
Main Results:
- 92.3% of 117 students responded to the survey.
- Identified specific learning areas requiring revision in radiation safety.
- Highlighted non-compliance issues within hospital X-ray departments.
Conclusions:
- Design principles were formulated, a website was developed, and the researcher experienced professional development.
- Design-based research principles tested the application of knowledge in real-life scenarios.
- Effectiveness of acquired radiation safety knowledge was measured in practical settings.

01:22Purposive Learning
383
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

01:22Design Consideration
488
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:18Design Example: Designing Water Slide
569
When designing a water slide, controlling the speed of water flow is crucial for rider safety while maintaining an exciting experience. As water flows down the slide, gravity causes it to accelerate, with its speed at the bottom depending on the height from which it starts. The higher the slide, the more potential energy the water has at the top, which is converted into kinetic energy as it descends, increasing its speed.
Bernoulli's principle determines the water's velocity along the slide....

01:18Introduction to Learning
847
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
