Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Temporal motivation theory

Suggested changes

Hey @UC3236663: Excellent topic, I did notice that in the temporal motivation theory heading, there was a subheading that could be converted to the main heading, as it moves on to talk about another aspect as opposed to the theory itself. Consider making the 'Integration with Other Theories' as a main heading and then its subsequent headings as second-level rather than third-level headings. I hope this makes sense and might make the document easier to navigate and read! I hope this is helpful. -3230259

Students can relate

This is SO interesting and almost therapeutic, coming from an extremely indecisive individual and chronic procrastinator. I assume a lot of us are guilty of prioritising shorter/quicker tasks over the bigger assessment items that only end up causing us more stress when we tackle them last minute and unprepared :( --Ebrixon (discuss • contribs) 13:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi UC3236663. 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 05:34, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

General feedback

Your chapter on Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) is clear, engaging, and well-structured. I love the practical examples, such as the case study, really help in explaining how TMT applies to everyday decision-making and procrastination. The integration of psychological theories strengthens your argument. It would be great to see some more specific strategies for overcoming procrastination using TMT insights to enhance practical applicability. Great job overall!

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Use of academic, peer-reviewed citations could be improved in some places (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 with a relevant image Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Avoid repeating same material later Clear and interesting focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists etc. to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Good 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 Very good integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Layout See earlier comments about heading casing Grammar The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats') [1] Abbreviations Check and correct formatting of abbreviations (such as e.g.,) - needs comma Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Use serial commas[2].

Overall Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation Overview The opening slide clearly conveys the purpose of the presentation The title and sub-title are displayed and narrated A context for the presentation is established through an example 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 The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes no explicit use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes excellent use of citations to support claims The presentation makes reasonably good use of one or more examples The presentation provides basic practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides basic (wordy) take-home message(s) Audio The presentation makes reasonably good use of narrated audio Audio communication is reasonably well-paced Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the listener to cognitively process the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Reasonably good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was reasonably 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 well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides Some of the font size and line spacing could be larger to make it easier to read The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Hide the audio icon 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 brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand. An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided (maybe because the YouTube user account doesn't have advanced features) A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated Links are not active A copyright license for the presentation is clearly indicated
