Sumario:Radiologic sciences have undergone rapid advancements due in part to growing complexities. Faculty are responsible for teaching these advancements, but little is known about pedagogical practices. This study examined the relationship between faculty characteristics and pedagogical practices of behaviorism and constructivism using data collected from 348 Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology participants. Results indicated little difference among pedagogical practices among faculty. Although faculty tended more toward a behaviorist perspective than a constructivist one, they attempted to balance teaching requirements for the certification examination with skills to put into practice.
