Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the plan. If you don't understand the feedback or would like further information, get in touch to discuss. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title Title and sub-title correctly worded and use sentence casing 2. Headings Overly detailed, 3-level heading structure – could benefit from simplifying to perhaps a 2-level structure Reduce emphasis on background concepts; cut to the chase Develop closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Remove acronyms from headings 3. Overview Excellent Scenario works well Simplify/abbreviate the description of the problem/topic. Move detail into subsequent sections. Develop closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings 4. Key points Overly broad/comprehensive; not sufficiently focused/targetted on the topic; this often occurs when genAI content is used by a prompter with insufficient background reading and understanding of the topic and/or insufficient revising and rewriting of genAI content All planned aspects cannot reasonably be covered within the book chapter word count, so be selective and concentrate on the most important aspects which address the question in the sub-title Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples. Excellent use of citations Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Focus most of the chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) – even better, express the idea in your own words Do these key points include genAI content? If so, this needs to be acknowledged in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. Conclusion (the most important section) hasn't been developed 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?) 5. Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited (see Tutorial 2) 6. Learning feature Add in-text interwiki links for first mention of key terms to Wikipedia and/or book chapters (see Tutorial 2) Consider use of more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider including quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Also consider using tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent APA style - very minor capitalisation error (e.g., Ryan et al., 2019) 8. Resources Excellent 9. User page Good Brief description about self – 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution Good – two out of three types of contributions made with direct link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: comments on the talk pages of other chapters (past or current) To add direct links to evidence of Wikiversity edits or comments: view the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and paste the comparison URL on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. This was demonstrated in Tutorial 02.

Learning features

Hi there,

I can see that you haven't had a chance yet to add many learning features.

Right at the bottom of the page I added some pictures on SDT, and made a quiz on CET using GenAi: https://chatgpt.com/share/68d77ba5-af00-8008-9d03-4e51bc281b04

If you find any of this helpful you are welcome to use it in the chapter. U3239124 (discuss • contribs) 05:56, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Adding embedded links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages counts as another learning feature. You may want to link the following pages:

Self-determination theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory

Cognitive evaluation theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_evaluation_theory

Edward Deci: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_L._Deci

Richard Ryan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_M._Ryan

Organismic theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organismic_theory U3239124 (discuss • contribs) 06:08, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I also added a table at the bottom of the page. I am not sure if this is the best way to present the research on the topic but it might help break up the big blocks of text U3239124 (discuss • contribs) 06:20, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi, just a suggestion after reading your topic and the implications, check out this previous book chapter on Work motivation and self-determination theory. U3253054 (discuss • contribs) 11:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Overall This is an outstanding chapter that successfully integrates psychological theory and research in a highly readable way to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem Excellent Over the maximum word count. Content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engaging scenario or case study Figure 1 is relevant to the scenario Scenario uses an appropriate feature box Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon The focus questions are excellent (clear and relevant) Theory Excellent—key theories are very well explained and applied Builds well on Wikipedia articles and related chapters by embedding interwiki links for key terms Insightful depth is provided about key theory(ies) Reasonably good use of tables, figures, and/or lists to clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Excellent review of relevant research Excellent emphasis on systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses Claims are well referenced Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident Integration Excellent integration between the most relevant theory(ies) and the best research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised The focus questions are addressed Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression The quality of written expression is excellent Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Grammar and spelling are excellent Figures Very well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Adjust some image sizes to make them less dominant (decrease size) Citations use excellent APA Style (7th ed.) References use excellent APA style: Learning features Excellent use of learning features 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. Basic 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 good use of figure(s) No use of table(s) Reasonably good/Basic/No use of feature box(es) Excellent use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Excellent use of the See also section Excellent use of the External links section External links section not counted for marking purposes due to being over the maximum word count Social contribution ~27 logged, useful, mostly moderate to major contributions with direct links to evidence Thanks very much for your extensive contributions
