Radiography Students' Learning: A Literature Review.

Purpose To describe research methodology and findings concerning radiography students' learning. Methods Health sciences databases were searched to perform a traditional narrative literature review. Thirty-five peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2014 were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Specific methods of learning were found to be of the most interest. The studies focused primarily on the use and usability of a method or the students' general experiences of it. The most commonly studied methods were e-learning and interprofessional learning, which students perceived as positive methods for theoretical studies and clinical training. Students' learning regarding research was the focus of only one article reporting a wide variety of students' research interests. Most studies reported quantitative research gathered from questionnaires and surveys. Conclusions Additional research, especially from a qualitative point of view, is needed to deepen the evidence-based knowledge of radiography student learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
