Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U962051. 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 see editing changes made whilst reviewing this 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 below may also be about all material on the page at the time of providing this feedback.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. Excellent – used effectively
  1. Excellent – at least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with direct link(s) to evidence
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  3. Note that there is no need to impose general motivation theories onto VT; it is quite OK to use the limited, emerging theories from within existing VT theory and research e.g., https://run.unl.pt/bitstream/10362/127909/1/TGI0455.pdf. Having said that, if you're going to use a general motivational theory, consider self-determination theory's basic psychological needs e.g., they are mentioned in https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780367815875-25/volunteer-motivation-katja-petrovic-arthur-stukas
  1. Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. I think the criticisms section is appropriate, but try to couch this in terms of its connection with motivation; a reasonably conclusion seems to be drawn by https://doi.org/10.1080/09669580802159610 in that programs should be managed towards achieving cross-cultural understanding rather than potentially be exploitative or confirming pre-existing stereotypes etc.
  3. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. focus questions
    3. an image
    4. an example or case study
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  5. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
    2. Could consider implications for academics, volunteer tourism, companies and tour operators (e.g., https://run.unl.pt/bitstream/10362/127909/1/TGI0455.pdf)
  1. Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. alphabetical order
    2. capitalisation
    3. italicisation
    4. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  3. May be of interest:
  1. See also
    1. Not developed
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

Book 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 solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study to help engage reader interest
  4. Clear focus question(s)
  5. The Overview should not contain sub-headings; more detailed info into a subsequent section
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained
  2. Initially, there is too much general material about the volunteer tourism industry. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
  3. Be wary of painting an overly positive picture of volunteer tourism; there are also potential downsides (e.g., exploitation). This is acknowledged in the Conclusion, but not earlier.
  4. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory
  5. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  3. Some basic examples are provided
  4. More examples could be useful to illustrate key theoretical concepts
  1. Reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Basic critical thinking about relevant 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. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. There is basic integration between theory and research
  1. Reasonably good summary
  2. Summarise key take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Grammar
    1. 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.
    2. Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')
  4. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  5. APA style
    1. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    3. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Figure captions use the correct format
      3. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. 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)
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is good
  2. Very good 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. Good use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes)
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples. Direct quotes are over-used.
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~2 logged, useful, moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence
