Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Psychological literacy

Initial suggestions

@LouiseCleary: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Emotional intelligence
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Self
• Also search past book chapters for related topics
• For the topic development, consider:
  • What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand and explain this topic?
  • What is the main research in this area?
  • Check out work by Jacqui Cranney
• Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter.

Topic development feedback

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (missing comma; fixed) 2. Headings Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 3. Overview Add a scenario or case study in a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 4. Key points Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings There seems to be reasonably good coverage of theory, however, strive to balance the content with critical review of relevant research 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?) APA style uses double rather than single quotation marks when introducing a term 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References OK Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Remove duplicate references Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation italicisation page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) 8. Resources See also One of two link types provided Also link to related book chapters External links Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2) 9. User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution One out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence. The other types of contribution are making: comments on other chapters (past or current) posts about the unit or project on other platforms such as the UCLearn discussion forum or on X using the #emot24

Multimedia presentation feedback

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.

Overall Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation Overview An opening slide with the sub-title is displayed and narrated. Also display and narrate or paraphrase the title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and to be consistent with the book chapter. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest (e.g., by introducing a case study or scenario) A basic context for the presentation is established Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented (via the sub-title) 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 good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes reasonably good use of relevant psychological research Ideally, make more explicit use of research The presentation makes reasonably good use of citations to support claims The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples The presentation provides practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a reasonably good summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes reasonably good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Basic intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was poor (there are sharp noises) 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 well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The visual communication is supplemented in a good way by relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is reasonably well produced using simple tools Hide the audio icon The visual content is well matched to the target 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 good written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided (maybe because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features) A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is clearly indicated in the description but not the meta-data

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 basic, but sufficient chapter Basic use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims In some places better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well The focus questions are clear and relevant Theory A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained This chapter does not build on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding interwiki links for key terms) Basic depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Very good use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient 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 considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the tags) Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research Insufficient integration with chapters Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Address the focus questions Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good 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 Grammar The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Consider using a grammar checking tool Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats') [2] Check and make correct use of commas 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 – more info APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[3]. Video (1 min) Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA Style 7th ed., 2020, p. 159) Figures Very well captioned Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Tables Add an APA style caption to each table Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1) Citations use very good APA Style (7th ed.). To improve: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses References use good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[4] Check and correct use of italicisation Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Learning features Reasonably good use of learning features No 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. 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 figure(s) Basic use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples No 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 contributions with direct links to evidence I improved this link
