Heading casing

edit
 
Hi Teermeej Hossain. 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

Suggestions for this chapter

edit

Hello! I was reading through your book chapter which was really good but I think it would benefit from more images implemented into the page to make it more engaging. WikiCommons is a really good place to find images which can be easily inserted by copying the link of the image and pasting it in the search tab. As well as providing more hyperlinks to relevant theories and concepts could help as well. An example would be when you introduce the concept of self-efficacy, adding a hyperlink here could be very useful. Hope this helps! U3216389 (discusscontribs) 01:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi! just some feed back, just to make the book chapter more interact-active adding case studies throughout can help the reader solidify what they have read in the paragraph. Overall your book chapter looks like its coming along nicely! --U3230861 (discusscontribs) 04:06, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! Some positive feedback to make your page even better! Breaking up all that text with a few more images would have made the chapter visually more engaging. Also think about including some external learning resources such as a podcast from the respected location, or even a related video via Youtube. Overall, your page is great!(U3215755 (discusscontribs)(U3215755 (discusscontribs) 05:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC))Reply

Hi, your chapter looks great however I think some more explanation you the theory and please don't forget your case study to help reader understanding your topic. Additionally, remember to focus on your main topic "How can AOT be used to improve human performance?", here are some reference that might be useful for you.

Hello there!! really great job and well structured book chapter. from first viewing was very capturing. My one suggestion is to maybe add hyperlinks throuhgout the help the reader be accessable to other sources that may explain key concepts and ideas throughout your chapter. This can be a major factor within your overview section in particular. U3216563 (discusscontribs) 06:18, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, your book chapter is enticing. However, addition of multiple peer-reviewed articles could assist with the validity of some statements. As mentioned above, hyperlinks, as well as case studies, are a great way to maintain interest and deeper understanding throughout the chapter. - edit by Msherrybarr (discusscontribs) 02:24, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply


Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

 

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter
  2. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations
  3. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Engages audience
  4. Suggestion: Make it more obvious that the problem in the scenario is a mutual absence of AOT?
  5. Quality of written expression can be improved
  6. Clear focus question(s)
  1. Insufficient use of psychological theory about this topic
  2. Rather than a psychological science approach, this chapter adopts a socio-cultural-political approach. There is nothing inherently wrong with the latter approach, but the task was to utilise the best available psychological theory and research about AOT.
  3. The chapter wanders off into discussion of marginally irrelevant theory
  4. The chapter could be improved by simplifying its approach e.g., what is AOT? Provide a very clear description with examples. What does research about AOT indicate about its relationship with desirable (and undesirable) psychological outcomes? Provide a simple, integrative summary with very concrete examples.
  5. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Cognitive)
  6. There are a lot of statements/claims made with insufficient supportive evidence. This is problematic for a chapter which is meant to use science-based communication. It may be more appropriate for other purposes (e.g., an essay, an opinion piece, etc.)
  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory
  2. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts
  4. Place more emphasis on explaining the underlying theoretical constructs than methods of measurement
  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  2. The research review is overly focused on measurement issues, rather than reporting about empirically-tested theoretical insights
  3. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  4. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  4. Note that science can't "prove" anything. It can only "disprove". See philosophy of science.
  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research
  1. Basic summary
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills
    2. Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. huge) in science-based communication
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
    4. Some of the written expression is quite abstract, which makes this a difficult read for an unfamiliar reader. Consider ways of simplifying the written expression to make it more accessible to a wider audience. This is the essence of science communication.
    5. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
    6. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text but don't enhance meaning
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and correct use of that vs. who
  4. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    2. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Figure captions use the correct format
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      3. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is reasonably good
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. Concentrate on linking psychological terms.
  3. No 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.
  4. Links to non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the external links section
  5. Basic use of image(s)
  6. No use of table(s)
  7. Good use of feature box(es)
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes)
  9. Limited use of case studies or examples
  10. Very good/Good/Basic/No use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  11. Promising use of external links in the "External links" section. Target AOT-related material.
  1. ~5 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. Thanks very much for your extensive contributions
  3. ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
