Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Burnout

Initial suggestions

@Grace (Tram) Chu: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Note that there was a previous attempt, so check out that chapter and the feedback on its talk page.
• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Burnout
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Dear James,

Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it!

Best regards,

Hi Grace,

Under the section 'what is burnout?', I noticed that you have listed a couple of emotions that are either relevant or similar to burnout. I am not sure if you wished to go in-depth about each one, or if you wanted to simply list them. I thought perhaps choosing the three that interest you, or has thorough research may be best, in case you experience going over the word count (4,000).

Kind regards, Angela

Edits

Hi Grace

You may have noticed that your 'Overview', 'Case study' and 'What is burnout?' sections look different. I've edited these sections for you. If the edits agree with your writing style, please let me know, and I can continue to edit as you build your chapter.

I also found WHO's definition and classification of burnout really interesting as it narrows it down to occupational contexts. Recently, I've been using burnout to describe it in the context of study as well as personal life when trying to meet competing priorities that leads to exhaustion and that sense of being weighed down. I'll certainly change how I use the language but I do wonder what labels or operational definitions psychology has developed to describe similar presentations but in a non-occupational contexts.

All the best with your chapter.

Heading casing

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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:07, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Promising 3-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by simplifying the structure". That is what the book chapter will be evaluated against. Simplify to a 2-level structure The structure is overly ambitious, trying to be too comprehensive Focus on answering this question: "What is burnout and how can it be managed and prevented?". That is what the book chapter content will be evaluated against. Case study shouldn't have a separate heading Brain section should be part of theories Reduce the overall number of theories - be selective Overview Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Reasonably good focus questions Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended Key points Key points are developed for some sections, with relevant citations 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?) Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Figure 1 - this isn't an animation? Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) Consider including quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation italicisation page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages Not developed External links Very good Use sentence casing User page Excellent – used effectively 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution None summarised with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see how to earn marks for social contributions.

Overall Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation The presentation has an opening scenario to establish a context and hook audience interest Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research Ideally, make more explicit use of research The presentation makes excellent/very good/good/basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion A conclusion is presented with a basic take-home message Add practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Basic intonation and articulation The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was excellent The narrated content is reasonably well matched to the target topic but lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented in a reasonably good way by images Also consider using diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools The visual content is reasonably well matched to the target topic but lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation A written description of the presentation is provided Excellent use of time codes Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is provided

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 Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and good use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. The writing style could be improved. Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion%2FBook%2F2023%2FBurnout&diff=2581771&oldid=2575008 these copyedits] Overview Very good Engages reader interest via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon Explain the problem or phenomenon in more detail Clear focus questions Theory A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related Wikipedia articles Build more strongly on related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts It could be useful for the reader to read a case study showing how someone managed to overcome burnout Research Good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) in some places Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Good integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is promising but there are several aspects which are below professional standard Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. 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 "People" is often a better term than "individuals" Layout Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Consider using a grammar checking tool Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance Abbreviations Check and correct formatting of abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., etc.) Only use abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc. inside parentheses, otherwise spell them out Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard Remove unnecessary capitalisation APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99) Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words Figures Figures are very well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.). For example: References use very good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Learning features Very good to excellent use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles 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. Very good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Basic use of case studies or examples Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~2 logged, useful, social contributions (image uploads) with direct links to evidence ~5 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
