Use of interactive platforms and new technologies in the radiation physics teaching for health area courses

Abstract

The research presents the difficulty that students of the health areas face to understanding concepts of Radiation Physics and their applicability. The use of innovative and technological tools and methods associated with theoretical concepts favors the teaching learning process. The research describes results that show changes that are perceived in students during and after the use of the tools and demonstrate the student's position as an active subject in the teaching learning process. From a movement of transformation of the disciplinary structures, it is evident the correlation between the search of greater active and critical participation of the students when one has a dynamism in the classes. It was concluded that the advantages in terms of achievement, academic performance and student satisfaction involved when compared to traditional teaching methods were approximately 93% acceptance, which expresses a significant increase in students' performance and the good acceptance of such methodologies. It is also verified the satisfaction of the teacher, who begins to stimulate more students, to exercise several mental activities of the students in new proposals, allowing them to assimilate and build new knowledge, developing critical thinking.
