Case study

[edit source]

When I read the title of your book chapter, I immediately think of 'David Goggins' whose is a motivational speaker and author, and delivers inspirational motivation through sharing his fitness experience and mindset values. I believe he would be a perfect case study for you to use within your bookchapter. --U3039010 (discusscontribs) 13:00, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I will also add a couple of other fitness inspirational suggestions that may be of interest to you: Paralympics Australia, The Olympics, Arnold Schwarzenegger, million dollar baby (movie), and Rocky (movie). I hope this helps for some case study suggestions.--U3039010 (discusscontribs) 13:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
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

Topic development feedback

[edit source]

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.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded
  3. Capitalisation of the sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents
  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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Unsummarised, indirect link
  2. None summarised with direct link(s) to evidence
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
  3. I'm not sure why there is a heading for "promotion mindset" - how does it relate to fitspiration and body image?
  1. I recommend adopting a neutral, critical perspective than necessarily opening with a claim that fitspiration is harmful. Make sure all statements are qualified and supported by scientific evidence. Be careful not to exaggerate. The goal is to provide an overview of relevant psychological theory and research about this topic.
  2. There is a surprising lack of sufficient citation for the planned key points. I am not convinced that you've read much of the academic literature about this topic.
  3. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  4. Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year)
  5. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  6. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  7. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  8. Consider including more examples/case studies
  9. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. under 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?
  10. Strive for balance - are there any positive effects?
  1. The image was deleted - probably due to copyright violation.
  1. Good
  2. Cite the references in the main body
  3. Add italics
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

Topic Suggestion

[edit source]

Hey! This is a really interesting topic, especially among young teens. A suggestion I have is perhaps to write some insight on 'thinspiration' which was an especially prevalent problem in the early 2000s with the rise and idealisation of celebrities and models with an extremely low body weight! Here is an article you could use! (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1740144518302481) Good luck! --U3204694 (discusscontribs) 10:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.
  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses could be helpful.
  1. Good critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  3. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. suggesting specific directions for future research
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.
  1. Basic summary.
  2. Clear take-home messages.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. severe and dangerous) in science-based communication.
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Grammar
    1. Check and make correct use of commas.
    2. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    3. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    4. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2].
  4. Proofreading
    1. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
      3. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
      4. Figures are very well captioned.
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Do not include author initials.
      2. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      3. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good/.
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
  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.

  5. Basic use of table(s).
  6. Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/No use of feature box(es).
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes).

  1. ~8 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence.
