Actividades para la enseñanza de los rayos x bajo el uso del tomógrafo del laboratorio de física de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

Abstract

The work was developed with the objective of creating resources and didactic activities that include the study of the physical phenomenon of radiation-matter interaction through the X-ray tomograph of the physics laboratory of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, focused on the teaching of modern physics, using the methodology of inquiry-based learning that starts from a series of questions that lead to the construction of physical references, the exploration of the device, the construction of materials and their testing. This learning around the physical processes of the interaction of X-rays with matter with the tomograph, allowed the construction of two manuals for its use, one for quick reference and another more extensive, a kit of materials (25) was created for its application in the tomograph, with several explanatory videos, along with three activities that can be carried out using the device, all focused on teachers of modern physics. In addition, a format for assessing knowledge related to modern physics was created. As well... This work can be a source for other works that allow to expand the possibilities of the use of the tomograph since it can explore the construction of tomographies with different algorithms from digital radiographs at different angles. In the creation of a device with safety protocols in the emission of X-rays, also in the different types of radiation detection. The possibility of modifying the different activities in teaching in different problems that the population has, among others. Finally, there are a large number of tools that are applied in teaching and research and that contribute to the development of the community of physics teachers, which was one of the results we expected in the development of the degree work.
