Short Description

This research addresses the use of x-ray positioning simulation software in a radiography science program. Based on an exploratory mixed-methods approach, twenty-one undergraduate students participated in answering questions about their confidence and skills. Leveraging a conceptual framework of activity theory, connections to self-efficacy were identified based on their amount of use, and the way they used the software. Implications specific to radiography education are presented, with recommendations for instructors when implementing imaging simulations.
