Social contribution

edit

Hi there,

This is a super interesting chapter so far, and so relevant right now! I liked your insights in the conclusion on how eco-anxiety can produce adaptive responses like political activism. I also read this Australian journal article that was really insightful that found evidence that eco-anger resulted in greater climate activism levels too https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.2021.100003.

Great job! U3223909 (discusscontribs) 06:58, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I really enjoyed reading your book chapter so far. I did some research and found an article that talks about the psychological theories of your topic selection and I thoguht it might be useful.

3

  1. Break up long opening paragraph
  2. Put the scenario or case study into a feature box (with the image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  3. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided
  4. Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings
  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  2. It makes sense to use the sub-title questions as the top-level heading, but build out the sub-headings
  3. Quiz doesn't need heading; embed questions where relevant

No comment

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Good balance of theory and research
  3. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Is this genAI content? If so, it is not acknowledged in edit summaries and is therefore potentially violates academic integrity
    2. Regardless break up the long paragraph and abbreviate; shift detail into previous sections
    3. 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?)
  1. Excellent - A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited
  1. One interwiki link
  2. Excellent use of example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. Promising use of quiz question(s)
  1. Very good
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. page numbers for edited book chapter
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Use bullet-points (see Tutorial 02)
    3. Include "(Book chapter, year)" after links to other motivation and emotion book chapters on Wikiversity
  2. External links
    1. Very good
    2. Use bullet-points (see Tutorial 02)
  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Hello James I have a question regarding the marks I’ve received. Given the nature of the feedback provided, I was wondering which version of my page you have reviewed. For example, did my conclusion section contain dot points or was it written as a full paragraph? If the latter, that was my book chapter work, not simply the topic development page. I mention this because, in your review, you mention that I need to break up the long paragraph, but I can’t tell if you’re referring to the dot points or the conclusion section I’ve since edited for my final book chapter. You may have mistakenly conflated the two. I believe I recalled you saying in class that I could continue to edit the topic development page into a full book chapter and that you would review the linked version I sent before the due date of the topic development. If I misremembered or misunderstood, do I need to utilise the new book chapter template page that has been provided to us?--MT200107 (discusscontribs) 08:46, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Student climate protests"

edit

This phrase strikes me as awfully vague. One cannot protest "climate change" per se, but rather the human activities that cause it. AP295 (discusscontribs) AP295 (discusscontribs) 12:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter
  2. The main areas for potential improvement are to develop more independent writing with closer citation and more indepth review of the most relevant research about this topic
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid
  2. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box
  3. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Basic focus questions
  1. A reasonably good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Heavy reliance on a small number of citations (e.g., Clayton et al., 2017; Climate Psychology Alliance, 2020; Dodds, 2021)
  3. Citations should be to peer-reviewed publications; shift other sources to external links
  4. Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles
  5. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  7. No use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
  8. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  9. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Basic to reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  4. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient to basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. 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
  7. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Basic integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are summarised
  3. Seems rather vague and gen-AI-like
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. The style in many places could be AI generated, especially given the lack of citation
    3. Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
  2. APA style
    1. Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are briefly captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    4. Citations use correct APA style
    5. Insufficient citation to support claims
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
  3. Good 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. Minimal use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Very good use of feature box(es)
  7. Good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples
  9. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~8 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation
  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation
  2. This presentation has an opening scenario to hook audience interest
  3. Whilst the scenario is useful, it is not clear that it necessarily has to do with eco-anxiety (e.g., could be more related to eco-anger or other eco-emotions)
  4. Could be worth starting more broadly with the idea that the environment and our perceptions of the environment trigger emotional responses, one of which might be anxiety about the state or wellbeing of the natural environment
  5. Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are somewhat presented but could be more explicit
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. The presentation somewhat addresses the topic
  4. This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic
  5. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  6. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory
  7. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research
  8. What is the prevalence of eco-anxiety?
  9. The presentation includes citations to support claims
  10. The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s)
  2. The presentation could be strengthened by expanding on the take-home message e.g., any practical messages/advice?
  1. The audio is hard to follow mainly because of poor recording quality. Review microphone set up.
  2. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
  3. Consider using slightly longer pauses between sentences
  4. Reasonably good intonation
  5. The narrated content is well matched to the target topic (see content)
  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
  2. The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides
  3. Remove or change footer placeholder
  4. The font size could be larger to make it easier to read
  5. Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read
  6. The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time
  7. The visual communication is supplemented in a very basic way by images and/or diagrams
  8. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  9. The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content)
  1. 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
