Feedback from Louise

edit

The body of your chapter is looking good. I have mentioned goal setting theory briefly in my chapter and I have included a link to your chapter because you have covered it in a lot more detail. It is interesting that you have also made reference to self-determination theory and feedback which I also refer to in my chapter. My chapter is Adolescent educational motivation. Also, just a reminder to make sure your reference list is in APA style before the due date, as at the moment the references are not in alphabetical order. --Louise Wheeler (discusscontribs) 01:13, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi I have come across the following which may be of interest for you in relation to motivation and goal setting/attainment in relation to task difficulty. My topic is Motivational Intensity Theory. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292893391_Three_decades_of_research_on_motivational_intensity_theory_What_we_have_learned_about_effort_and_what_we_still_don't_know --GillianN74 (discusscontribs) 02:47, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, this sounds like a super interesting topic, I look forward to reading the finished chapter! I found this article which may be helpful in your research - Relationship of core self-evaluations to goal setting, motivation, and performance. You can use this link to auto download a copy of the PDF, hopefully it works (if not try searching for the article on Google Scholar). I hope this helps! --Brittany (u3117719) (discusscontribs) 10:09, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hey! This study might also be interesting for you. It is a new development of making goals SMARTER rather than just "SMART", as it makes the goals even more worth reaching http://web.b.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=1&sid=03b97fb9-c829-4213-a190-f6a571bc0d7f%40sessionmgr104 If the link doesn't work, the article is called Making SMART goals smarter U3158984 (discusscontribs)

Hey! This TED talk may also help your study out https://www.ted.com/talks/john_doerr_why_the_secret_to_success_is_setting_the_right_goals. Good luck! --U3158984 (discusscontribs) 08:36, 15 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Key points

edit
  1. Overview - Don't try to do too much in this section - keep it is an engaging overview to the topic (e.g., can include examples/case studies)

  3. Conclusion - Underdeveloped - the most important section
