The theory of nuclear physics for radiological assistants
ŠIMKOVÁ, Kamila
Currently there is not freely available any simple educational text on the subject of nuclear physics foundations, which would be adequate to the knowledge of students in the field of Radiology Assistant and other related fields. Study materials that are commonly used are mere transcripts of a scientific knowledge which needs to be adjusted by the presenter in order to be correctly understood by students within the stipulated time. The need for defining an educational version of a nuclear physics for Radiology Assistant resulted in preparation and submission of this thesis. During the process several objectives emerged: - create awaited, projected and implemented curriculum (create comprehensible educational text and verify its adequacy) on the subject of nuclear physics foundations for Radiology Assistant - verify the suitability of the project curriculum using the experimental teaching followed by subsequent verification with questionnaire survey - apply methods of descriptive statistics and mathematical statistics This thesis was based on two hypotheses verification. 1st hypothesis: By application of curricular process theory and developing appropriate educational text can be processed theoretical foundations of nuclear physics for Radiology Assistants. 2nd hypothesis: Knowledge of Radiology Assistants in the field of theoretical foundations of nuclear physics obtained from drawn up educational text will have distribution near to the normal distribution. Contribution of the thesis is the elaborated educational text and test that can be used for teaching theoretical foundations of nuclear physics. After evaluation of individual questions in the test, can be recommended to focus on students' knowledge in those areas where lower scores were achieved.

The Physics Principles of Magnetic Resonance for Radiographers
FIL, Lukáš
Currently, there is not available any simple educational text with the subject "Physics Principles of Magnetic Resonance" which would be adequate to knowledge of students of the branch of radiology assistant and of other related branches of study and which would be based on operational calculus. On the basis of the analysed scientific system of non-statistical quantum physics was made an educational text summarizing all important facts about physical bases of magnetic resonance. Functionality of the educational text was consequently validated by experimental teaching of students of the branch of radiology Acquired knowledge was verified by creation of an educational test which respected the depth and width of subject matter involved in the educational text. Between practical benefits of the thesis it is possible to emphasize a fact that the new quantum theory (operational calculus, full set of quantum number) is a needed physical base for understanding magnetic resonance. Imbalance between the need of new quantum theory and current content of accreditation materials could be removed by implementation of new subject "Selected Chapter of General and Theoretical Physics".

The Physics Principles of Absorption Law for Radiographers
ČECH, František
Recently, there was not any suitable comprehensive educational text concerning physical bases of the absorption law which would be adequate to knowledge (physics, mathematics) and to skills of students of branch of radiology assistant and of related branches of study. For this reason, the bachelor thesis was written. The thesis set several partial goals which were successively achieved. Partial goals of the thesis are: 1. Selection of a theory of knowledge transfer to the level of branches of study stated above. 2. Creation of an educational text by a way which respects chosen theory. 3. Experimental verification of suitability of the educational text from the point of view of addressees. 4. Application of chosen statistical methods. On the basis of the analysis of the current state of the solved problem and setting partial aims the following hypotheses were stated: 1. Educational text for radiology assistants can be made by means of application of curricular process. 2. Knowledge of students acquired by means of the elaborated educational text will have a distribution close to normal distribution. As a convenient theory for knowledge transfer from science to educational sphere turned out to be theory of curricular process [1]. On the basis of the theory of the curricular process it was firstly important to analyse current scientific system of non-statistical quantum physics. The thesis deals with relationships between the absorption law and its three components especially in connection with absorption of x-rays and gamma radiation. In the area of conceptual curriculum the "Old quantum theory" became a solution. Sufficient physical base for the absorption law represents a thorough application of wave-particle duality. Mentioned physical pieces of knowledge were subsequently adjusted to the level of knowledge and skills of students for the area of intended and projected curriculum. Stated physical effects were derivated from initial conditions to formulas presented in scientific literature. Adjusted physical pieces of knowledge were subsequently transformed into a comprehensive educational text as a basic constituent of projected curriculum (see Annexe 1). By means of creation of the educational text the following hypothesis was proved: "Educational text for radiology assistants in the area of physical bases of the absorption law can be made by means of application of curricular process application". For verification of knowledge acquired by students an educational test was realised. The test had 23 question with one correct answer for every question (the test is presented in Annexe 2). Quantification of knowledge of students as a part of implemented curriculum-2 was made by means of statistical inquiry. Besides methods of descriptive statistics a method of assignment of theoretical distribution to empirical distribution was used. On the basis of assignment of theoretical distribution to empirical distribution it was determined that knowledge of students can be expressed by Gauss distribution. This confirmed not only adequacy of the created educational text but also the second hypothesis of the thesis. Benefits of the bachelor's thesis: Theoretical benefits of the thesis: 1. Application of curricular process in education of radiology assistants in the area of the physical bases of the absorption law. 2. Application of algorithm of statistics on verification of the hypotheses of the thesis. Practical benefits of the thesis: 1. The old quantum theory in the form of wave-particle duality of photon and electron are an adequate physical base for understanding the absorption law in the area of x-rays and gamma radiation. 2. Recommendation for improving physical preparation of radiology assistants on the basis of the analysis of particular test questions. 3. Educational text and test can be used in the education of radiological physics for the branch radiology assistant and also for related branches.

The Physics Principles of Classical Circular Accelerators for Radiological Technologicts
VESELÁ, Barbora
As the selected theory of transfer of knowledge from the scientific radiological physics (in the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators) to students of radiological branches the theory of curricular process was used. This theory was formulated in the world by M. Pasche, T. G. Gardner, M. Certon, M. Gayl, in the Czech and Slovak Republics by J. Průcha, J. Brockmeyerová, P.Tarábek, P. Záškodný. On the base of the curriculum process theory, in the sphere of radiological physics curriculum process can be defined as a sequence of transformations T1-T5 variant forms of curriculum: "conceptual curriculum" as a communicable scientific system of radiological physics (first variant form of curriculum as transformation T1 output from a scientific system to a communicable scientific system) "intended curriculum" as an educational system of radiological physics (second variant form of curriculum as transformation T2 output from a communicable scientific system to an educational system) "project curriculum" as an instructional project of radiological physics (third variant form of curriculum as transformation T3 output from an educational system to a teaching project) "implemented curriculum-1" as the preparedness of educator to education in radiological physics (fourth variant form of curriculum as the first transformation T4 output from an educational project to implementation of teaching) "implemented curriculum-2" as the results of education in radiological physics (fifth variant form of curriculum as the second transformation T4 output from an educational project to implementation of teaching) "attained curriculum" as applicable results of education in radiological physics (sixth variant form of curriculum transformation T5 output from implementation of teaching to application of the results of teaching). In this thesis, in the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators the transformation between the intended curriculum, project curriculum, implemented curriculum-1 and implemented curriculum-2 were used. These transformations were carried out by binds between educating text, experimental teaching, preparation for experimental teaching and placing of educational test to students of radiological branches to find out the results of experimental teaching in the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators. In order to prove the hypotheses of the bachelor thesis, methods of mathematical statistics apart from methods of descriptive statistics were used: Nonparametric tests and two sample t-test. Nonparametric test was used to test the normality of knowledge acquired by experimental teaching. Two-sample t-test was used to compare the knowledge from the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators in students of full-time and part-time study programme. The bachelor thesis was based on the verification of two hypotheses: a) an adequate educational text in the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators can be created by application of curriculum process b) students´ knowledge in the sphere of physical bases of circular accelerators acquired on the base of worked out educational text will have normal distribution. Both of these hypotheses were confirmed by statistical processing of the results which were obtained by experimental teaching and by placing of educational test to students. Partial hypothesis was also confirmed that knowledge between full-time students and part-time students will not be statistically different on the level of statistical significance 0.05. Based on the verified hypotheses and the survey of further results, the targets of the thesis can be considered fulfilled.
