Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2018/Goal setting techniques

Feedback from Louise

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 (discuss • contribs) 01:13, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Suggestions

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 (discuss • contribs) 02:47, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

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) (discuss • contribs) 10:09, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

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 (discuss • contribs)

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 (discuss • contribs) 08:36, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:31, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Title, sub-title, TOC Good User page Excellent Social contribution Excellent Section headings Excellent 2-level structure - not too much, not too little Probably don't need the future research section (since the target audience is lay people rather than researchers), but the ideas could be incorporated into other sections including the Conclusion Key points 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) Main body headings - plenty of good ideas here; remember that it is better to select a smaller set of concepts and use them well/effectively than try to cover too much territory, so be prepared to be selective Conclusion - Underdeveloped - the most important section Image Good Expand figure caption to provide more explanation about the connection to key points in the text References Good Use APA style For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html Resources See also - good External links - good

Overall This chapter is well over the maximum word count. Overall, this is a well-balanced and considered chapter. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are very well selected, described, synthesised, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory, although arguably more detail could be provided. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Layout Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Learning features For numbered lists, using Wikiversity formatting per Tutorial 1. Grammar Use serial commas. Check and make correct use of that vs. who. Check and make correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's). APA style Use APA style for Figure captions. See example. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text. Citations are not in full APA style e.g., Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. References use correct APA style. References are not in full APA style e.g., Check and make correct use of capitalisation. Check and make correct use of italicisation. See new doi format. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within volumes.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas 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 solid that makes effective use of simple tools. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes. Structure and content Overall, well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. The third model needs clearer explanation (maybe add some accompanying text?). Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The presentation is interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced, with good intonation. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images, although more text/diagram/slides could improve the effectiveness (it is somewhat difficult for the viewer to hold the new concepts in short-term memory). Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio quality is excellent. Audio quality is very good. Add acknowledgement of image sources used in the presentation. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter was not provided. A brief written description of the presentation is provided.
