Chapter Feedback

Hi, I'm doing a chapter that is somewhat related so when I saw yours I thought I'd throw some theories your way - hope that's ok. The theories that I've found that might help are Stress Inoculation Training by Meichenbaum, and the Transactional model of stress, appraisal and coping by Lazarus. Not sure if you've already got these and I'm just repeating it, but hope it helps. Good luck! Cheers, Dot--Foley.d (discuss • contribs) 02:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey! This article might help you with the approach and avoidance section https://link-springer-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/article/10.1023/A%3A1009009018235 - Approach and Avoidance Motivation (Elliot & Covington, 2011)

Hi, Just a reminder to insert a hanging indent for your references. There are instructions on the motivation and emotion discussion page if it helps; https://uclearn.canberra.edu.au/courses/5330/discussion_topics/35390. Thanks, --U3154928 (discuss • contribs) 07:42, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

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 Excellent User page Lovely Social contribution Great to see contributions across multiple channels See suggestions for how to more precisely link to social contributions (optional) Section headings Well developed Theory-rich, but perhaps not much more theory is needed - so, expand about research, practical examples, and take-home messages Key points Consider adding two case studies (can be made up) - one of a person with a fixed mindset encountering challenge, another of a person with a growth mindset encountering challenge Consider using a table to compare and contrast some of the characteristics of a fixed vs. growth mindset There is possibly going to be too much theory, so consider being selective (i.e., focus on the theory/theories that you think are most important). That will free up room/space to focus more on the application of the theory. Possibly there could be more focus on "challenge" - what is a challenge, what does a challenge mean to someone with a fixed vs. growth mindset, etc. Perhaps consider the practical implications: Can one's mindset change? e.g., How can someone with a fixed mindset develop a growth mindset? Could a positive learning experience with challenge help to develop a growth mindset? Image Excellent References Theory-rich Key research? Use APA style Resources Very good

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter 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 through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a reasonably good chapter. It draws on appropriate theory, but could expand more about relevant research. There are several useful learning features. The grammar could be improved. Consolidate some repetitive information across the "Overview" and "What is a mindset?" Expand the Conclusion from bullet-points into sentences and paragraphs (arguably, this is the most important section). For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. It could be helpful to briefly mention the other mindsets and link to more information (e.g., Mindsets and motivation), Research Some relevant research is discussed in relation to theory, but more details would be helpful. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Learning features Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive. Embedding interwiki links links to other book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of images. Good use of tables. Good use of feature boxes. Good use of case studies. Perhaps also include a case study about someone changing from a fixed to a growth mindset. Basic use of quizzes. Check and correct quiz question 1 - Dweck argues for more than two mindsets. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Use serial commas. APA style Check and correct figure numbering. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Citations use correct APA style. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and make correct use of capitalisation. Check and make correct use of italicisation.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a promising presentation but probably tries to cover too much content too quickly (even though there is some spare time up to 3 mins). Structure and content Be more selective - cover less content more effectively. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion). Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The presentation is fun and interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of text and animated image based slides with narrated audio. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality are very good, however consider muting the music during narration to help the viewer concentrate on the combination of visual information and narrated audio. Images sources are acknowledged. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to and from the book chapter is provided (but note that the link in the slides is incorrect). A written description of the presentation is provided.
