Incongruence Between Learning Style and Written Corrective Feedback Type: Mediating Effect of Implicit Theory of Learning Style
Implicit theory (Dweck, 2000) suggests that learnersā theories about the malleability of their individual traits (learning style, here) determine the extent to which they can stretch their learning style (Gregersen & MacIntyre, 2014; Young, 2010) and benefit from the instruction that mismatches their preferred styles. The present study aimed at investigating the extent to which Iranian EFL learners with inductive vs. deductive learning styles would benefit from the written corrective feedback (WCF) that does not match their learning styles (i.e., implicit vs. explicit WCF). The study also examined if their success (or lack of) in style stretching and improving their written accuracy is due to the implicit theory (entity vs. incremental) they hold about their learning style. The result showed that students with an incremental theory significantly improved their written accuracy more than those with an entity theory. Also, the findings revealed that inductive learners were more successful in adapting to the mismatched WCF (explicit) and made greater improvement in their written accuracy than deductive students who received implicit WCF.La theĢorie implicite dāun apprenant (Dweck, 2000) sur la malleĢabiliteĢ de ses traits individuels (styles dāapprentissage, ici) deĢtermine dans quelle mesure il peut eĢtirer son style dāapprentissage (Gregersen et MacIntyre, 2014; Young, 2010) et profiter de lāinstruction qui ne correspond pas aĢ leurs styles preĢfeĢreĢs. Cette eĢtude vise aĢ deĢterminer dans quelle mesure les apprenants iraniens de lāanglais langue eĢtrangeĢre ayant des styles dāapprentissage inductifs ou deĢductifs beĢneĢficient de la reĢtroaction corrective eĢcrite qui ne correspond pas aĢ leurs styles dāapprentissage (c.-aĢ-d. implicite ou explicite). Cette eĢtude examine eĢgalement si leur succeĢs (ou leur manque) dans lāeĢtirement de style et lāameĢlioration de leur preĢcision eĢcrite est duĢ aux theĢories implicites (entiteĢ vs increĢmentales) quāils deĢtiennent sur leur style dāapprentissage. Les reĢsultats ont montreĢ que les eĢtudiants avec une theĢorie increĢmentale ont consideĢrablement ameĢlioreĢ leur preĢcision eĢcrite beaucoup plus que ceux qui ont eu une theĢorie dāentiteĢ. De plus, les reĢsultats ont reĢveĢleĢ que les apprenants inductifs ont reĢussi mieux aĢ sāadapter aĢ la reĢtroaction corrective explicite (qui ne correspond pas aĢ leur style dāapprentissage) et ont ameĢlioreĢ davantage leur preĢcision eĢcrite que les eĢleĢves deĢductifs qui ont recĢ§u la reĢtroaction corrective implicite
3D Printing for 21st Century Medical Learners: Opportunities for Innovative Research and Collaboration
Abstract
With the commercialization of accessible 3D printers, using 3D printing for creation of personalized medical interventions has become a rapidly expanding area of research. In keeping with these developments, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa has purchased 3D printers (Makerbot Replicator 2X and Ultimaker 2 Extended +) and launched a collaboration with Makerspace and the Health Sciences Library to investigate local opportunities to incorporate 3D printing into education, simulations and research. This article aims to summarize some of the recent developments in 3D printing and introduce readers to how one could use 3D printing for personalized medicine.Ā

Avec la venue de la commercialisation dāimprimantes 3D accessibles, lāemploi de lāimpression 3D pour la creĢation dāinterventions meĢdicales personnaliseĢes est un domaine de recherche en deĢveloppement rapide. Afin de rester aĢ jour avec ces deĢveloppements, la FaculteĢ de MeĢdecine de lāUniversiteĢ dāOttawa sāest procureĢ des imprimantes 3D (Makerbot Replicator 2X et Ultimaker 2 Extended +) et a entameĢ une collaboration avec Makerspace et la BibliotheĢque des Sciences de la SanteĢ, pour examiner des opportuniteĢs locales visant aĢ incorporer lāimpression 3D aĢ lāeĢducation, aux simulations et aĢ la recherche. Cet article vise aĢ reĢsumer certains des deĢveloppe- ments reĢcents en impression 3D et aĢ preĢsenter aux lecteurs la manieĢre dont celle-ci peut eĢtre utiliseĢe pour la meĢdecine personnaliseĢe.
