Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Environmental volunteering motivation

Initial suggestions

@U891419: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:

Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Environment Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Volunteering

• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:43, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks James. I'm rethinking the structure. I'm feeling it will be far more useful to end users (vols and those who create experiences for them) if the structure

- briefly intro'ed the key theories

- then focused on what the theories tell us about the motivations behind:

1 why vols join in the first place

2 why vols stay

3 why vols leave

I'll keep reading and see if the refs support the structure/approach above. It feels more practical than the current approach/structure. I might also contact a few people I know who work directly with env vols and ask them what they would like to see/read so it is directly relevant to what they do in the real world.

Peer Suggestion

Hi Damian, you've picked an interesting topic! Could you consider adding a feature where the audience could consider what motivates (or could motivate) them? This may help the audience begin to understand the different types of motivations that exist in this field... and then they can explore the ideas/theories more as they read your chapter. Looking forward to coming back later in the semester to see more. --U3218323 (discuss • contribs) 09:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure Consider developing closer alignment between the focus questions and the top-level headings The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings Overview Includes scenario, image, and focus questions Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic and how it links to relevant psychological theory/research Key points Very good development of key points for each section, with relevant citations The three theories are well selected and provide a useful organising structure - also strive to integrate relevant research for each theory Conclusion (the most important section): Underway but under developed - consider take-away message for each focus question Figure Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and appropriately captioned Well done on creating and uploading your own image! – this can also be listed as a social contribution Consider decreasing image sizes to make them less dominant in relation to the text Learning feature Excellent use of quiz question(s). Consider removing heading and repositioning the questions into the relevant sections Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of examples/case studies References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent If adding more, be selective of only the best/most resources User page Excellent – used effectively I am also a Skippy fan! Excellent description about self provided 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Excellent – at least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with direct link(s) to evidence The Tweet seems not to be publicly available? Also link to your image uploads Consider making comment on other topic talk pages

Peer suggestment

Hi Damian! you have read about this topic and discussed it really well. I was just suggesting if you wanted to expand of your studies and research into more depth. eg., explaining the aims and methods and discussing how the researchers found their results. It could promote more growth for discussion! you have a lot of credible studies and support your theme well. U3226707 (discuss • contribs) 01:35, 9 October 2023 (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 an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Solid Overview Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon I've tried separating out a problem statement from the scenario Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example and/or using an image Clear focus question(s) Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory Could build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Volunteering) Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Effective of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Key citations are well used The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation – instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources Research Excellent review of relevant research Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident Claims are referenced Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min) Figures Figures are very well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Citations are close to full APA style (7th ed.). For example: If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)### A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al.") because it is an abbreviation of et alii. References use correct APA style Learning features Excellent use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles 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. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, per Tutorial 02 Excellent use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Excellent/ use of quiz(zes) Excellent use of case studies or examples Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~13 logged, useful minor to major social contributions with direct links to evidence Unable to view Twitter post Excellent contribution of psychological diagrams to Wikimedia Commons
