This is a great start for your book chapter. It is well structured and I like that you are addresing the impact of self-regulated learning on underlying motivational and emotional concepts. Just remeber to include DOI's in your reference list. If this is not available provide a link for the article i.e where it was retrieved from. Here is a link to the UC APA style guidelines that might help you - UC APA 6th edition. --Bridie Mcinerney (discusscontribs) 01:39, 13 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Feedback on chapter

Hi Aidan, I wrote the following paragraph to help you get started on the subsection on motivation. Points 2 and 3 need further developing. I hope this helps, Silvia U3037801 (discusscontribs) 03:54, 12 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Motivation is a key factor in self-regulated learning. According to Pintrich (1999) self-regulated learning is facilitated by intrinsic motivation and the adoption of mastery goals and obstructed by goals which are extrinsically motivated. Research has shown that developing an individual’s motivational beliefs may help them to adopt a self-regulated learning style. Pintrich’s (1999) model identifies three types of motivational beliefs including self-efficacy, task value and goal orientation.

1. Self-Efficacy is having the confidence to take on, work toward and succeed at challenging tasks. Bandura (1977) first introduced the concept of self-efficacy to describe a person’s belief in their ability to use their skills to cope with a situation. 2. Task value is defined as (add a definition) 3. Goal orientation is (add a definition)

Suggestion

Hi there, this chapter is on an interesting topic and I'm excited to read it upon its completion! I'm not sure how far along you are with research, but I found this article on emotions and self-regulated learning and its impacts on academic achievement http://www.researchgate.net/publication/263916847 I would also recommend including more images, textboxes or tables to enhance the look of the page and make it more interactive! Good work --U3160212 (discusscontribs) 09:52, 13 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. The chapter could benefit from further development of the Overview (e.g., add focus questions).
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. Several relevant theories are described, and explained.
  2. The chapter could be improved by providing greater synthesis/integration of theory, or being more selective about which theories to cover.
  3. The case study is helpful, but could be expanded to give more concrete examples of theory in action.
  1. Relevant research is cited and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. When describing important research findings (e.g., Wolter, 1998), consider including more detail about the methodology to help the reader understand the study and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    2. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in brackets at the end of the sentence.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Interwiki links are well used.
    2. Excellent use of images, tables, feature boxes, and quizzes.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
    1. Check and make correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
    2. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  5. APA style
    1. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    2. Citations
      1. Select up to the top three citations per point (i.e., avoid citing four or more citations to support a single point).
    3. References are not in full APA style e.g.,
      1. Check and make correct use of capitalisation.

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an excellent presentation that makes effective use of simple tools.
  1. Reasonably well selected and structured content, however the presentation feels a little heavy/rushed.
  2. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).
  3. More examples could be helpful.
  4. A Conclusion slide is presented.
  5. Practical, take-home message(s) could be emphasised.
  1. The presentation makes reasonably effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
  2. Reasonably well paced, but consider leaving longer pauses between sentences to allow information to be digested.
  3. The font size is mostly sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided, although sometimes too much text is presented in the time allowed (especially whilst also listening to the audio).
  1. The full chapter title and sub-title are used in the video title - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. The full chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. Video recording quality was excellent.
  4. Audio recording quality is OK.
  5. A copyright license for the presentation is provided.
  6. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
