Abstract
Purpose: Academic Role-play is a learning method in which students handle problems in small groups under the tutor supervision. This method is very useful in health professions education on imparting technical knowledge. In this study I am going to apply Academic role play in the teaching of student radiographers and study the effectiveness of role play method, particularly in understanding the investigation form evaluation in radiography.
Materials and Methods: The study tested students' understanding of completing investigative form evaluation in radiography using a randomized controlled design, comparing the effects of adding the academic role play approach to theoretical lectures and clinical experience vs using theory and clinical experience alone. Following their random selection, the students were assigned to either the experimental or control groups. Valid questionnaires are used to gather information from the pretest and posttest for both the experimental and control groups. After that, an Excel work sheet is used to evaluate the data and produce a result.
Conclusion: Sixty second semester radiography students were split into two groups, the experimental and the control, with thirty students in each. The mean score for the pretest and posttest score are at 102.63 and 179.87 for experimental group with a standard deviation 44.68 and 28.38 respectively while it was 103.00 and 130.70 for the control group with a standard deviation of 44.35 and 38.78 respectively. This study demonstrates that after using the academic role-play module, students' understanding of doing investigation form evaluation in radiography has improved.
