Initial suggestions[edit source]

@De2023: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 01:47, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi De2023. 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 and sub-title are partly correct. Be consistent with the book table of contents.

Headings[edit source]

  1. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the sub-heading structure
  2. It makes logical sense to use the sub-title questions as top-level headings. Consider further development of sub-headings in those sections.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Promising
  2. Consider adding:

an engaging practical scenario to attract reader interest

    1. a brief, evocative description of the problem

Key points[edit source]

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with some relevant citations
  2. Use edit summaries - this is part of providing transparent academic integrity about what/how the page is changing (see Tutorial 02)
  3. Promising balance of theory, research, and practical examples
  4. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Underway - what are the take-home messages likely to be?

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Use APA style to cite figure

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 examples/case studies
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies
  4. No use of quiz question(s) or tables

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. Use of initials rather than first names
    2. capitalisation
    3. italicisation
    4. doi formatting

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent
    2. Use sentence casing

User page[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. 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.
  3. Link provided to book chapter

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 an insufficient chapter due to the lack of review of relevant research
  2. The chapter is theory-strong but research-weak
  3. The written style is excellent, but academic citation is poor
  4. Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes.
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Reasonably good
  2. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario in a feature box
  3. However, the relevance of the case study is unclear
  4. Add image to case study to help engage reader interest
  5. Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon
  6. Clear focus questions

Theory[edit source]

  1. The theoretical coverage is quite comprehensive, with lots of useful, practical summary and information, but is repetitive (lacks synthesis) and lacks sufficient citation
  2. Over reliance on Wilson et al. (2003) as a citation
  3. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  4. Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  5. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Some good examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  1. Insufficient review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  4. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  7. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)

Integration[edit source]

  1. Insufficient integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Very good 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 very good
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    3. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent
    1. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1)
    2. 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. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Proofreading needed for consistency
      3. Include hyperlinked dois

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Very good 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. 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. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  7. Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. Good use of case studies or examples
  9. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence
