I did a short, amateur lit-review in 1st year on academic success and some of my references may be of assistance to your topic:

Hello! I also had a suggestion for a good read on this topic which is a meta-analysis conducted on primary and secondary students looking at interventions which can help foster self-regulation. Its a good read and can help with some of the foundational theory that you might have to cover in your chapter as well as providing solid evidence. Hope this helps! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11409-008-9029-xU3216389 (discuss • contribs) 01:21, 12 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development
The sub-title suggests three questions that could be used to guide the top-level structure
There are two top-level strategy sections - these could probably be combined into a single section
This is primarily a motivation topic, so the focus on emotion can be reduced; this is not to say that emotion can't be discussed but I wouldn't emphasise it in the heading structure
Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

Hi, I just went in and changed your sub-heading from your original entry 'Extrinsic Motivaiton' to instead read 'Extrinsic Motivation'. Made the change directly as I didn't know if you'd see this 24 hours out from due date. cheers. U943292 (discuss • contribs) 12:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I just went in and changed some spelling. It used to read "John needs to plan and priorities his time". It now reads "John needs to plan and prioritise his time". Made the change directly as I didn't know if you'd read a heads up in time (before it was due). cheers. U943292 (discuss • contribs) 10:36, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
This chapter "beats around the bush" for ~* words (i.e., too much preamble) before starting to directly tackle the target topic in the section titled "*"
For additional feedback, see the following comments and [ these copyedits]
Several relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained
The material about I-E motivation and Maslow's hierarchy wasn't directly related to self-regulated learning and wasn't followed up in the rest of the chapter (until the Conclusion). So, suggest removal, allowing more room to focus and expand on the specific academic self-regulated learning models.
Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored") [1][2]
Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
Layout
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections
The grammar for many 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.
Basic 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.
Basic 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.
Good use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Basic use of feature box(es)
Basic use of quiz(zes). Only one basic question about ASR.
Basic use of case studies or examples
Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Use sentence casing.
Promising use of external links in the "External links" section. Use sentence casing. Include source in parentheses.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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.
The audio is hard to follow because so much content is presented so quickly
The presentation makes basic use of 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
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement
The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
A link to the book chapter is provided but the hyperlink isn't active to allow 1-click access
A link from the book chapter is provided
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
