Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Psychological literacy

Initial suggestions

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

• Check out work by Jacquelyn Cranney - she is an Australian academic who has pioneered considerable work about PL
• I made an initial start on a Wikipedia article about PL - not much there - but hopefully some of your work on this chapter can later be moved into the Wikipedia article: w:Psychological literacy
• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work (e.g., there is another chapter this year about mental health literacy):
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Literacy
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Self
• What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 07:49, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

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 03:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

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 The wording and/or capitalisation of the title is incorrect. Be consistent with the book table of contents. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Remove user name – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Basic, 3-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by reducing to a 2-level structure Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Consider how to integrate theory, research, and examples into the main three headings rather than having a separate section for theories and case studies Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Case study doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed case study within relevant sections Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections Overview Move the scenario or case study to the start of this section and include an image to help catch reader interest Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section Key points Partial development of key points for each section, with relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed Underway 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?) Generally well-written, but I recommend using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression because there are a lot of grammatical and spelling errors. Figure A relevant figure is presented and captioned Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text Learning feature Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters 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 quiz question - remove heading and embed in the most relevant section Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: italicisation Resources See also Use bullet-points (see Tutorial 02) External links Excellent Very good Use sentence casing User page Created – minimal, but sufficient Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding 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 None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see how to earn marks for social contributions.

Helpful article

Hi! In your chapter you mention how psychological literacy can be fostered through education. I found this article that talks about how psychological literacy can be fostered for preservice teachers. I think its worth a read! It not only gives you a few theories to work with, but it also shines a light on why it matters and how it can be fostered. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1475725720973517

Hope it helps! -- Concettazicc (discuss • contribs) 07:52, 4 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 insufficient chapter. It is relatively brief and incomplete in some places. It provides an adequate overview of theory but lacks sufficient review of relevant research. I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter Use of academic, peer-reviewed citations is lacking in some places (e.g., see the tags) Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Basic Engage reader interest by presenting a case study or scenario with an image in a feature box Explains the problem or phenomenon Basic focus questions Theory A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Make greater use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic Some sentences could be explained more clearly (e.g., see the and tags) Some sentences are overly long. Strive for the simplest expression. Consider splitting longer sentences into two shorter sentences. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. 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 Layout Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard APA style Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words Figures Figures are briefly captioned Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1) Citations are not in correct APA style (7th ed.). References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of italicisation Learning features Insufficient use of learning features Two uses 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. 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. Very basic use of image(s) No use of table(s) Simplistic use of feature box(es) Insufficient use of case studies or examples No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Use bullet points per Tutorial 02 Use alphabetical order Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~1 logged, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence ~2 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 basic presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented 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 makes excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic/little/insufficient/no use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research Ideally, make more explicit use of research The presentation makes limited to no use of key citations to support claims The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic take-home message(s) A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic summary The presentation could be strengthened by adding practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question Audio The presentation makes reasonably good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Reasonably good intonation The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was good Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone. The narrated content is reasonable well matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked synthesis of the best psychological theory research about this topic Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes reasonably good use of text and image 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 is supplemented in a basic way by images Also consider using diagrams The presentation is well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked synthesis of the best psychological theory research about this topic Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand. Links to and from the book chapter are provided An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not provided A copyright license for the presentation is not provided No references are provided
