Keywords:
radiation safety, dual coding theory, visuals, healthcareAbstract
The gap between verbal and non-verbal learning has always been a task for trainers and finding new ways for the same. Dual Coding Theory as a theory has been quite popular for past several years but still has not yet made its place in the daily education concepts. This paper focuses on application of the concept of Dual Coding Theory in which visuals were integrated into the content delivery and pre & post session evaluation using questionnaire having visuals to bring down the cognitive load on the mind of learners when being introduced to a new concept. Learners were healthcare workers and administrative staff who belonged to diversified departments. Content delivery was on Radiation Safety in Healthcare Facility to which they could be directly or indirectly encountering during their course of working. Attendees were appreciative of the visual dynamic components (Hand Drawn Images on Digital/Physical White Boards) for ease of understanding, interactive delivery and real time evaluation tools.
