Suggested relevant article[edit source]

@U3224687, looks like a great topic! I came across this article that you may find interesting and hopefully useful. The study followed 174 candidates through the elite American Navy SEAL special forces training program, comparing candidate mindsets of 'stress enhances performance' to 'stress debilitates'. In such an extreme workplace, those trainees with the positive mindset achieved more success and the researchers considered how their findings could be applied to other workplaces.

Good luck! Sincerely, Andrew. U3235369 (discusscontribs) 21:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi U3224687. 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

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 mainly because it does not review or cite any research
  2. Use of academic, peer-reviewed citations is lacking in many places (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  3. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader interest by presenting a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box
  3. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Clear focus questions

Theory[edit source]

  1. The chapter provides a good, rich description of stress mindset
  2. The chapter also provides some useful ideas about developing a stress mindset
  3. Builds somewhat on related Wikipedia articles
  4. Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/*)
  5. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Use tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
  7. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  8. Reasonably good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  1. Insufficient review of relevant research
  2. Add more detail about key studies
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. Insufficient 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

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s)

Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good; but the lack of sufficient citation is an Achilles heel
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in 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. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
    2. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')

[2]

    1. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., etc.)
  1. Spelling
    1. Needs improvement (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  2. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
  3. APA style
    1. Use serial commas[3]. See explanatory video (1 min)
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are reasonably well captioned
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Include hyperlinked dois

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Reasonably 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. Very good use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of case studies or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
    1. Answers to the first two questions were incorrect; I've fixed
  9. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end
  10. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use alphabetical order
  11. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use alphabetical order

Social contribution[edit source]

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