O uso de mídias sociais como ferramenta de expansão do conhecimento de acadêmico,técnicos e tecnólogos em radiologia

Abstract

Social media, due to its characteristics of exchanging messages, sharing materials and links, has been compared by several authors to a virtual learning environment with an important role in forming opinions and disseminating information. The objective is to map publications related to interaction practices and the development of the study in radiology in order to expand access to information. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: The bibliographic survey, in which the influence of social media and its applications in education is presented, provided coherent elements to achieve the proposed objective. METHODOLOGY: This is a descriptive and applied study, with an exploratory qualitative approach. The data were collected through a reflexive analysis about the selected posts in pages and groups aimed at students and professionals of Radiological Techniques. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: The analysis of publications from the Facebook and Instagram media shows a valuable channel for the exchange of knowledge and information among its users, allowing more access to the topic in a dynamic and easy to understand manner. CONCLUSION: The use of these technologies for education and knowledge expansion in Radiology has become common, and it shows, in accordance with consulted literature, that social media can be used for didactic purposes promoting a participatory and collaborative learning as a complementary strategy and support for teaching practice
