"Veterinary Education in the Role of Geometric Imagination in Imagen-Ology: Three-Dimensional Mental Configurations of Two-Dimensional Radiologic Plates"

Abstract

The main aim of our research group in epistemology of imagination-a theoretical proposal by the first author of this paper, is shift the veterinary education in imagen-ology, grounded in the representation of anatomical structures to be interpreted by students, toward cognitive actions to in which students can constructs their own representations. In short, move from representations for student’s interpretation, toward cognitive representative actions where the students construct the radiologic plates. Our proposal for the construction of representative actions entails the imagination of actions grounded in geometrical thinking, the representative actions must be grounded in imaginary actions, then, we change the concept of imaging in radiology, for to imagen-ology in imagination.
