@DMaphosa: Thanks for tackling this topic.
Some initial suggestions:
Check out work by Jacquelyn Cranney - she is an Australian academic who has pioneered considerable work about PL
I made an initial start on a Wikipedia article about PL - not much there - but hopefully some of your work on this chapter can later be moved into the Wikipedia article: w:Psychological literacy
Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work (e.g., there is another chapter this year about mental health literacy):

The topic development submission 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 for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.
Basic, 3-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by reducing to a 2-level structure
Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
Consider how to integrate theory, research, and examples into the main three headings rather than having a separate section for theories and case studies
Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
Case study doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed case study within relevant sections
Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections
Partial development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples
Conclusion (the most important section):
Well developed
Underway
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?)
Generally well-written, but I recommend using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression because there are a lot of grammatical and spelling errors.
Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding
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.
None summarised on user page 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.

Hi! In your chapter you mention how psychological literacy can be fostered through education. I found this article that talks about how psychological literacy can be fostered for preservice teachers. I think its worth a read! It not only gives you a few theories to work with, but it also shines a light on why it matters and how it can be fostered. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1475725720973517

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, this is an insufficient chapter. It is relatively brief and incomplete in some places. It provides an adequate overview of theory but lacks sufficient review of relevant research.
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
Some sentences could be explained more clearly (e.g., see the [explain?] and [improve clarity] tags)
Some sentences are overly long. Strive for the simplest expression. Consider splitting longer sentences into two shorter sentences.
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 parentheses at the end of the sentence.
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
Layout
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
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
APA style
Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
Figures
Figures are briefly captioned
Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
Citations are not in correct APA style (7th ed.).
References are not in full APA style. For example:
Two uses 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.
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 basic use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Simplistic use of feature box(es)
Insufficient use of case studies or examples
No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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.
The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed
Audio recording quality was good
Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone.
The narrated content is reasonable well matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked synthesis of the best psychological theory research about this topic
The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.
Links to and from the book chapter are provided
An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features
