Initial suggestions[edit source]

@Madison.Mayo: Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:

  • There have been previous, but problematic attempts at this chapter (2011 and 2022), so check out those chapters and the feedback on their talk pages when planning this chapter.
  • This should be a high level chapter which integrates links to more specific chapters such as those listed in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Time management. Check out those chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:14, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

Headings[edit source]

  1. Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic

Overview[edit source]

  1. Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions
  2. Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  3. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided
  4. Use 3rd person perspective e.g., for the focus questions (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios)
  5. Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings

Key points[edit source]

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. This may run over the word count, so be prepared to be selective about what is essential and what isn't
  3. Promising balance of theory and research; ideal is to integrate/synthesise use of theory and research plus practical examples
  4. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent - A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text

Learning feature[edit source]

  1. Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key

terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters

  1. Headings should not be hyperlinked
  2. Excellent use of example(s)/case study(ies)

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. Check how to present books
    4. Include dois
  4. Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent
    2. Very good
    3. Use sentence casing

User page[edit source]

  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  3. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.

Social contribution[edit source]

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi Madison.Mayo. FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development
