- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Self-determination theory, which deals with motivation and personality, comprises three factors of autonomy, competence and relatedness that can be influenced by the features and potentials of social networks. Objectives We aimed to investigate the influence of social networks on the three main factors of the self-determination theory in learners. Methods: The present case-control study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted among 40 Iranian Ph.D. students who lived in Schengen area countries. Students were randomly divided into control (n = 20) and experimental (n = 20) groups. Before and after holding training sessions through a social media (Facebook) and face to face (FTF) education, Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the intrinsic motivation inventory were used for data collection. The intrinsic motivation inventory is a valid instrument that evaluates the three factors of autonomy, competence and relatedness. Results: the results indicated a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the three factors. The means of all the three variables improved significantly in the social network group as compared to the FTF group (P = 0.00). Although competence had improved in both groups, this improvement was greater in the social media group relative to the FTF group (P = 0.00). Conclusions: Social networks provide better learning experiences. They improve learning outcomes as they boost learners’ relatedness, competence and autonomy.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction : Social accountability has received much research attention in recent decades. Social accountability has been identified as an important prerequisite in development; however different development targets each have a particular definition of social accountability. The aim of this study was to provide indicators for application in making assessments for the progress of medical science colleges and institutions towards social accountability. Methods : This research was conducted as a qualitative study in 2015. The research aimed to explore indicators of social accountability in medical science training institutions using three rounds of the Delphi technique. A group of experts was gathered from among all regions of Iran. Prior to the first round of Delphi, some proposed measures were identified from a review of the related literature. In the first round, content validity ratio values were determined for each indicator and accountability assessment was the made by the group of experts. In the second round of Delphi, item-content validity index determinations were made according to relevance and clarity of the indicators. In the third final round, confirmation of indicators was made by the group of experts. Results : The four main domains of organization and performance, educational activities, research activities and cooperation in health services in society and region, were confirmed using the Delphi method. Finally, 58 objective indicators were listed for these 4 domains. Conclusions : Determination of national criteria for evaluating social accountability is a major step toward improving accountability in medical training institutions. Evaluations for medical training institutions based on criteria derived from this study were determined as efficient. But further research is needed on function of the mentioned criteria in relation to fulfilling the needs of society.

- چکیده: این مطالعه به بررسی ترجیح سبک یادگیری در میان مترجمان حرفهای پرداخته است. هدف این مطالعه عبارت
است از (الف) یافتن سبک یادگیری غالب در میان مترجمان حرفهای ایرانی؛ (ب) یافتن هر گونه تفاوت معنیدار
در ترجیح سبک یادگیری مترجمان از لحاظ جنسیت؛ و (ج) یافتن هر گونه تفاوت معنیدار میان سبک یادگیری
فردی و قابلیت و شایستگی ترجمهی مترجمان زن و مرد بود. برای نیل به این اهداف، 110 مترجم حرفهای از 35
مرکز ترجمه در 3 استان جنوبی ایران (فارس، هرمزگان و بوشهر) از طریق نمونه گیری غیراحتمالی انتخاب شدند.
دادههای مربوط به سبک یادگیری از طریق استفاده از پرسشنامهی سبک یادگیری هانی و موفورد جمعآوری شد،
و قابلیت و صلاحیت ترجمه کردن از طریق متنی آزموده شد که شرکت کنندگان ترجمه کردند. یافتهها نشان داد
و در رتبهی بعدی مصلحتگرا ،(Reflector) که سبک یادگیری غالب مترجمان، عبارت از بازتابنده
است، هر چند گروهی که سبک نگرشگر را (Theorist) و نگرشگر (Activist) عملگرا ،(Pragmatist)
ترجیح میدادند، عملکرد بهتری را نشان دادند. علاوهبراین، یافتهها هیچ گونه تفاوت یا ارتباط معنیداری را میان
ANOVA جنسیت مترجمان و ترجیح سبک یادگیری نشان ندادند. در نهایت، نتایج ی یک طرفه نشان داد که
تفاوت معنیداری میان گروهها از لحاظ ترجیح سبک یادگیری و قابلیت و شایستگی ترجمهی مترجمان وجود
دارد. برخی دلالتهای تعلیمی نیز مورد بحث و بررسی قرار گرفت.- چکیده انگلیسی: This study investigated learning style preferences among professional translators. The purposes of the study were to (a) find the prevailing learning style among the Iranian professional translators; (b) reveal any significant difference in the translators’ learning style preferences in terms of gender; and (c) find any significant difference between individual learning style and translation competence of the male and female translators. To this end, 110 professional translators from 35 translation centers in three Southern Provinces of Iran (Fars, Hormozgan, and Bushehr) were selected through non-probability sampling. The data pertaining to learning style were collected through an adaptation of Honey and Mumford’s learning style questionnaire, and translation competence was examined through a text that the participants translated. Findings revealed that the translators’ predominant learning style was Reflector, followed by Pragmatist, Activist, and Theorist, although those preferring the Theorist style showed better performance. Furthermore, the findings did not show any significant difference between translators’ gender and learning style preferences. Finally, results of one-way ANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant difference across the groups in terms of learning style preferences and translators’ translation competence. Some pedagogical implications were also discussed.
