    This study introduces a computer program designed for radiation therapy physics education. The interactive software enhances learning by providing immediate feedback on multiple-choice questions, reinforcing understanding of radiation therapy physics principles.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Educational Technology

    Background:

    • Radiation therapy physics instruction requires effective educational tools.
    • Traditional teaching methods may lack interactive elements for immediate feedback.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a computer-based instructional program for radiation therapy physics.
    • To enhance student comprehension and engagement in radiation therapy physics.

    Main Methods:

    • A Pascal-based computer program was developed.
    • The program presents instructional material followed by multiple-choice questions.
    • Incorrect answers trigger explanatory feedback and repetition of the material.

    Main Results:

    • The program provides immediate, targeted feedback to students.
