Chapter Feedback[edit source]

Hi, I would like to advise you that your references are not currently 100% APA style.

  1. Journal article issue numbers are only to be included if: the page number of each issue begins with page one, OR if each issue does not begin with the next consecutive page number from the last issue.
  2. When including doi's the latest APA style begins with https://doi.org/ instead of the previously used 'doi:'

For example your first reference: Bandura, A. (1993). Perceived self-efficacy in cognitive development and functioning. Educational Psychologist, 28(2), 117-148. doi:10.1207/s15326985ep2802_3
Should be:
Bandura, A. (1993). Perceived self-efficacy in cognitive development and functioning. Educational Psychologist, 28, 117-148. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15326985ep2802_3


Hey there, your chapter looks great, it is catching and creates interest to the reader. Here is a link https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ885706.pdf to the article I thought would be useful for your chapter. Best of luck. --(UTC)--Reet josan (discusscontribs) 11:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)'Reet josanReply

Hey there, the chapter sounds really intriguing and flows well and creates an interest.I found an article which can be useful https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00076/full .dsaini3 (discusscontribs) 11:58, 21 October 2018 (UTC)'Dsaini3Reply


Hey there, just wanted to say the start of your chapter is going really well, the starting paragraph really captivaties the reader!--Emeraldcahill94 (discusscontribs) 07:36, 5 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Louise, I just wanted to shoot you a couple of suggestions for potential references - hope that's ok. The first is Academic self-concept, autonomous academic motivation, and academic achievement: Mediating and additive effects. (2010). Guay, Ratelle, Roy, Litalien. The other info I found that may be useful is a database of factors affecting academic achievement, along with their level of effect: http://www.evidencebasedteaching.org.au/hatties-2017-updated-list/ Hope this might be useful in some way... Good luck! Cheers, Dot--Foley.d (discusscontribs) 01:00, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Foley.d.--Louise Wheeler (discusscontribs) 05:00, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Louise I also found a reference that might be useful for your chapter on adolescent education motivation (see link below).

Self Efficacy theory [May be worthwhile having a look at?][edit source]

May be useful to consider the work of Bandura in relation to education his body of work is considered seminal heres a few journal articles to get you going

Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title, sub-title, TOC[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. Title casing adjusted
  3. Sub-title wording adjusted

User page[edit source]

  1. Minimal
  2. Suggest linking to chapter you are working on

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. Social contributions that count for marking purposes are those that go beyond one's primary book chapter
  3. See suggestions for how to record social contributions

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Some promise, but could probably do some further consideration/tweaking.
  2. Generic sections such as "What is motivation?" and "What is special about adolescents?" should be kept brief or consider subsuming into the Overview or other sections and just providing brief info, with links to more dedicated Wikiversity/Wikipedia articles on these topics. This will allow the current chapter to focus more directly and purposely on addressing its unique topic: "How can we enhance adolescent motivation at school?"
  3. Consider the possibility of synthesising theories and strategies
  4. Consider moving one or more case studies to the beginning, to help engage the reader with some practical scenarios
  5. Consider include neurobiological perspectives based on adolescent brain development (e.g., why afternoon/evening schooling might better suit teenage brains)
  6. Case studies probably doesn't need its own section - they can be embedded in other sections using some sort of feature box

Key points[edit source]

  1. Some useful ideas.
  2. Main suggestion is to make sure each section is directly and demonstrably addressing the the topic.
  3. Also comments about section headings.
  4. Conclusion - this is arguably the most important section - expand on the take-away messages

Image[edit source]

  1. Not provided

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. Use APA style
  3. For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html

Resources[edit source]

  1. Very good

New APA style for DOI referencing[edit source]

  1. The volume should be erased and the number of volumes should be in italic.
  2. Instead of doi:, http://doi.org/ should be used.
  3. The name of the pulisher also should be in italic.
