Abstract:
The absence of standardised training and assessment for radiation safety
requirements at tertiary training institutions offering the radiography
qualification in South-Africa, necessitated investigation. The methods
included a literature review to contextualise and develop the outcomes for the
training and assessment; a Delphi survey to establish a set of criteria suitable
for a basic or advanced component of the training and assessment; and a
questionnaire for radiography students to determine the knowledge of the
radiation worker before and after training. The findings of this study can be a
guide in the process to determine content and assessment criteria for other
learning areas.
