Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Grit and conscientiousness

Initial suggestions

@U3229789: 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/Personality/Conscientiousness
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Grit
• Also search past book chapters for related topics
• For the topic development, consider:
  • What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand and explain this topic?
  • What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi U3229789. 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 11:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you :) U3229789 (discuss • contribs) 12:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title is correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment The Overview should not have sub-headings (I've fixed) 3. Overview Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section Add an image to the scenario or case study to help attract reader interest A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended Remove case study from focus questions; make these questions more generic 4. Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations There seems to be reasonably good coverage of theory, however, strive to balance the content with critical review of relevant research Conclusion (the most important section): Underway 5. Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Consider increasing image size from to make it easier to view 6. Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters; but do not put the links in bold Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc. 7. References Excellent For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation 8. Resources See also Excellent Use alphabetical order External links Excellent Use alphabetical order 9. User page Very good 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 10. Social contribution At least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence If adding the second or subsequent link to a page (or a talk/discussion 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. Use a numbered list (see Tutorial 02)

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 reasonably good presentation Overview The opening clearly conveys the purpose of the presentation Engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the presentation is established How does the example illustrate the relationship between grit and conscientiousness 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 good use of relevant psychological theory Grit theory suggests that passion and perseverance are key components The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research How correlated are grit and conscientiousness? What are the arguments for and against the difference between grit and conscientiousness The presentation makes reasonably good use of citations to support claims The presentation makes basic use of examples The presentation provides basic practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a reasonably good summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic The conclusion provides basic take-home message(s) Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes reasonably good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well-paced Reasonably good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was basic/ 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 well matched to the target topic The narrated content lacked synthesis of the best psychological theory and research about this topic Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes basic use of text-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 could be improved by including relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic Meta-data The chapter sub-title but not the chapter title is used in the name of the presentation. This would help to convey the purpose of the presentation and be consistent. A very good written description of the presentation is provided Consider using time codes A link to the book chapter is not provided A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing A copyright license for the presentation is clearly indicated

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 a very good chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and some research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box; also include a relevant image Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon The focus questions are clear Simplify the questions to avoid focus on Rachel Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds somewhat on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use more tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Reasonably good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Very good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Basic 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 considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the tags) Integration Very good integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Address the focus questions Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate 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 The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Figures Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use very good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Move non-peer reviewed sources into the External links section Learning features Good use of learning features Basic 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. 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. Basic use of figure(s) No use of table(s) Reasonably good use of feature box(es) Reasonably good use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages 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 Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Very good use of external links in the "External links" section Use alphabetical order Social contribution ~2 logged contributions with direct links to evidence ~1 logged contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess. See tutorials for guidance about how to get direct links to evidence.
