Developmental Trauma Theory[edit source]

Very interesting topic. I am looking forward to reading your Book Chapter. I would highly recommend reading 'The A-Z of Therapeutic Parenting Strategies and Solutions' by Sarah Naish. It would be good to use an example behaviour and speak to the explanation of why a child could be displaying that behaviour of concern and how to relates to complex developmental trauma.

Hi there, thanks so much for your suggestion! I will absolutely give that book and read, sounds like it could be very useful in explaining practical application. Cheers! U3218323 (discusscontribs) 08:25, 4 September 2023 (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 submission 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 for 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.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

Headings[edit source]

  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  3. The main issue is that I don't see anyting about "subsequent criminal behaviour"
  4. Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  5. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

Overview[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. Move case study to top
  3. Consider adding an image to the case study to help attract reader interest
  4. Use shorter paragraphs
  5. Be wary of overpathologising trauma - it is not a diagnosis per se
  6. Consider shortening and moving some of the detail into subsequent sections
  7. Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios)

Key points[edit source]

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Avoid long quotes - instead express ideas in your own words and use a citation
  3. Types of trauma are covered. OK. But how are these types related to subsequent criminal behaviour? That's where the gold is. Otherwise, not much point in covering types in any detail.
  4. Good balance of theory and research
  5. Ultimately, how strong and what is the nature relationship? And why/how?
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed
    2. Underway
    3. What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?)

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text. Citation should use a capital (e.g., see Figure 1).

Learning feature[edit source]

  1. One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. Consider including quiz question(s), table(s) etc.

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. inconsistent spacing

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent – used effectively
  2. Link to eportfolio not accessible
  3. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. At least three different types of contributions with some direct and some indirect link(s) to evidence
  2. If adding the second or subsequent link to a page (or a talk page), create a direct link like / Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.

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 an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Solid
  2. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box
  3. Consider adding a relevant image to the case study
  4. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  5. The focus questions could be improved by being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title) rather than focusing on childhood trauma more generally

Theory[edit source]

  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds on one previous, related chapter
  3. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  4. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  5. Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  6. Key citations are well used
  7. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  1. Excellent review of relevant research
  2. Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  3. Claims are referenced

Integration[edit source]

  1. Excellent integration between theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Clear take-home message(s)

Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
  2. Layout
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    3. Tables
      1. Table captions use APA style or wiki style
      2. Each Table 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)
      2. Separate multiple citations in a list in parentheses using a semi-colon
      3. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    5. References use correct APA style

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
  3. Good use of image(s)
  4. Excellent use of table(s)
  5. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  6. Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  7. Excellent use of case studies or examples
  8. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  9. Good use of external links in the "External links" section

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~17 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with ~two-thirds supported by direct links to evidence. Unable to easily verify and assess indirect links.
