Temporal motivation theory

Hi there, it looks like you're making good progress. You may find this a really useful theoretical framework for some of what you're looking at. Steel, P. (2007). The Nature of Procrastination: A Meta-Analytic and Theoretical Review of Quintessential Self-Regulatory Failure. Psychological Bulletin, 133(1), 65–94. https://doi.org/10.1037/0033-2909.133.1.65.

Heading casing

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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:45, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

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

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. Ideally, this would be a broader, gateway chapter to more specific topics about time and motivation. For example, there are already chapters about time management, time perspective, and procrastination; so introduce these topics and link to them, but avoid overly detailed coverage of time management and procrastination. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Basic Overview. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter. Theory – Breadth Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided. The chapter narrows in arguably too much on procrastination and time management (there are other chapters about these topics which aren't acknowledged or linked to), to the detriment of broader considerations of the relationship between time and motivation (e.g., delayed gratification). The discussion about consumer behaviour in airports is an example of a broader consideration of the relationship between time and motivation. More of this would have been ideal. Build more strongly on other time-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Time). Theory – Depth Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Key citations are well used. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts. Research – Key findings Basic overview of relevant research. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research – Critical thinking Basic critical thinking about research is evident. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Claims are referenced. Integration Discussion of theory and research is well integrated. Conclusion Basic summary. Address the focus questions. Add practical, take-home message(s). Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences. Some statements could be explained more clearly – see the tags. "People" is often a better term than "individuals". Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the 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. Check and make correct use of commas. Check and correct use of possesive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats').[1]. Check and correct use of that vs. who. Figures Figures are very well used. Figures are very well captioned. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style. Citations are in very good APA style (7th ed.). Note: Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname. References are not in full APA style. For example: Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Check and correct use of italicisation Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Include hyperlinked dois Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is OK. No 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. 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. Excellent use of image(s). No use of feature box(es). Creative use of find-a-word activity. But, I'm wondering, how likely do you think it is that readers are going to engage in this activity? (tricky to do online?) No use of case studies or examples. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. Social contribution ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.

Multimedia presentation feedback

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.

Overall Overall, this is a n reasonably good Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation This presentation has an engaging introduction to hook audience interest. Perhaps use a more general example that a wider audience can relate to? (e.g., a work deadline?) When should the audience re-open their eyes? Establish a context for the topic, to help the viewer understand Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion) The presentation makes good use use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s) Audio The audio is easy to follow Audio communication is clear and well paced Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement The narration is well practiced Audio recording quality was very good Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Meta-data The chapter sub-title but not the chapter title is used in the name of the presentation. The title would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Check grammar (question mark missing). A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist.
