  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. what will be covered
    2. an image
  3. There seems to be reasonably good coverage of theory; strive to balance with review of relevant research
  4. Within the theories section, perhaps consider a third perspective (e.g., values)
  5. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  6. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  7. Promising use of examples/case studies
  8. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?
  9. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style)

Figure[edit source]

  5. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  6. Consider increasing Figure 2 size to make it easier to view

References[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. doi formatting - hyperlinks should be active

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also

Suggestions[edit source]

Hey I have a friend who is really all over conservation of the environment and climate change, and I do allot of personal reading into it because of her. Here is an article I found: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272494415300542 --U3202984 (discusscontribs) 11:43, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter.
  2. This chapter is well under the maximum word count.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. The Overview provides a basic outline of the chapter.
  2. Clear focus question(s).
  3. The third focus question might be better as an open-ended question (have changed).
  4. Case study is promising.
  5. Consider providing some examples of:
    1. behaviours of interest (environment friendly or harmful).
    2. theories to be discussed
  6. The clarity of written expression is OK, but can be improved.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. The chapter largely discusses EFB in general. More examples of applying the recommended theories to motivate more specific behaviours would be ideal.
  2. Three relevant theories are described in relation to EFB.
  3. What other theories were considered? e.g.,
    1. Theory of planned behaviour
    2. Goal framing theory
    3. Nature connectedness
  4. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Basic coverage is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Ideally, the second part of the case study (or a new third part) could provide an example of the suggested theories being successfully applied.
  3. Basic use of tables and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information.
  4. More examples could be useful to illustrate theoretical principles in action.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Basic critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The Conclusion provides a basic summary of the chapter.
  2. Consider:
    1. Reminding the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest.
    2. Summarising the key points.
    3. Adding practical, take-home messages.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is OK.
    2. The term "individual" is overused. Two options:
      1. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
      2. Often the term isn't needed at all.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
    4. Use active rather than passive voice[1][2].
    5. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
    6. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is reasonably well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. APA style
    1. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    2. Citations use correct APA style.
    3. References use correct APA style.

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic to good.
  2. Little use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Basic use of image(s).
  5. Basic use of table(s).
  6. Good use of feature box(es).
  7. Good use of quiz(zes).
  8. Good use of case studies or examples.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~5 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with links to evidence.
  2. 1st contribution - link isn't direct, so not considered for markin purposes
  3. The uploaded image is at risk of deletion because copyright information hasn't been added. Was it intended to be used in the chapter?
  4. Great to see that you contributed to Twitter
