2. Introduction Enormous development of the applicationsof IR: • in medicine, biology, chemistry, techniques and in material sciences. • IR - basis of many new fields, e.g. nuclear medicine • Nuclear energy - an irreplaceable source of energy Negative influences ofIR: • atom bombs, tests of nuclear weapons, nuclear accidents • Public – • discussion of influences on our health and on environment • interest in the heart of the matter – what is ionizing radiation • IR – poses a threat to mankind or helps us → radiation protection

3. Transfer of information • education on various faculties of universities • public can be informed - mass media - internet - various publicity campaigns – Days of open doors,Night of Researchers, Informative day of SNUS • vacuum in education - on secondary schools

4. Study, promotional- informative material 1. „Multimedia programme of education in the field of ionizing radiation and radiation protection“KEGA MŠ SR 2005-2009 - the team cooperation of many workplaces (18 co-autors) - output - multimedia textbook „Ionizing radiation and radiation protection“ (Holý, K., Holá, O., et.al) - text part (25 chapters with quantity of hypertexts) - multimedia part (12 videofilms, 43 presentations), - informative part

25. Night of Researchers– 23.9.2011

27. The lecture-experimental tours • 1.Radioactivity – a threat for mankind or an inseparable part of our life • 2.Origin of X-rays and their use • 3.Do you know working principles of CT, MRI, ultrasonography, PET? • 4.Nuclear medicine – open irradiators in diagnostic and therapy • 5.Multi-purpose utilization of strong magnets – MRI, cyclotrons, synchrotrons • 6.Radiation protection

28. Realized tours with themes of IR • Prírodovedecké múzeum – téma 5a (3 prednášky = 2 triedy z Gymnázia Bilikova Ba, 1 trieda SPŠ elektrotechnická) • Gymnázium Krompachy – téma 7 • Športové gymnázium Košice – téma 7 • Gymnázium Púchov – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Metodova Ba – téma 5a • Gymnázium Prievidza – témy 7, 9, 9a • Stredná odborná škola Slovenská Ľupča - témy 7, 9, 9a • Gymnázium Krompachy – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Liptovský Mikuláš – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Košice – témy 9, 9a • Stredná odborná škola – Košice témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Nová Baňa – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Žiar n/Hronom – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Einsteina – Bratislava – témy 9, 9a • Gymnázium Matky Alexie Bratislava - témy 9, 9a Together 30 lectures

29. Experiences • To supply the power-point presentation of lecture directly by demonstrations, experiments • To combine the power-point presentation with the video clips and video-films, internet • To allow a pause during a lecture • To assign a written questions, tasks at the beginning of lecture – it helps to maintain the attention during the whole lecture • To give a time for discussion and for “playing” with demo tools • To evaluate the student’s answers of written quiz and to reward some students with symbolic prizes

36. Conclusion • application of above mentioned study materials for an education as well as for propagation are very positive. • new forms of an education – • the activities for general public, • our lecture–experimental tours at the secondary schools, have very kindly response. „Lack of cognition is stone of evil “
