Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2010/Student motivation theories

Feedback from Louise Wheeler 2018
Your chapter looks great and covers a lot of theories. I am doing a related topic in 2018 and I referenced some of the same theories. One theory that I have found particularly relevant is Goal Setting Theory. Also, here is a link to my chapter https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2018/Adolescent_educational_motivation --Louise Wheeler (discuss • contribs) 09:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Feedback on rough plan
This looks well on the way - I've wikified the plan a bit - I'd suggest perhaps adding some Level 3 headings and perhaps step the content out into bullet points (or level 3 headings). But in general, I like this way this is taking shape. My main other suggestion is to check over the structure of some student motivation chapters in educational psychology textbooks. Let me know if the library doesn't have sufficient textbooks in this area. Also, one of the top journals to check is Review of Educational Research. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 09:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I think your plan is well constucted, its clear and has flow. However, are you studying all students in general or are you focusing on a particular student body, ie., early childhood, primary, secondary, uni, etc., because developmental stages would influence student motivation. Also, what about student motivation in students from different cultures? socio-economic background? private or public school systems? Do these influence student motivation? Also, you could further break down each section and write out more questions that you aim to answer in those sections. However, your plan is good!AlEdwardson 00:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I read through yor plan and find it very well structured and very clear to understand. As Al said above, are you planning on looking at motivation in different cultures or groups? Other than that lovely work!! Ra.shell 11:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, your plan looks really good, I really liked your section "to begin with". I also liked the theories you are planning to use. Well done! See you in the next tut, hopefully it won't be raining!AlEdwardson 15:54, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey! Your page looks amazing! I love it! You've covered so much stuff, and your tables and pictures look great. You should be really proud of this! WELL DONE! M.Sell 09:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you so much for your feedback. Your chapter is very good. The content is great. The pictures look good and makes the whole chapter so appealing. Its amazing what you have done! The only thing I could suggest is keeping your paragraphs in either past or present tense. For example, ''was coined extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is defined....'' and I also noticed that figure 7, practical reasons students give for failure depending on their attributional style, says: too sick hand in my paper. (But these are just minor things). I loved your timeline! Very good!AlEdwardson 11:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I have to correct myself in regards to my comment about tense. Apparently, James is looking for studies to be written in past tense and all other content written in present tense, if it so applies, i.e., definitions. So please don't take any notice of my suggestion. I obviously got it wrong. Sorry about that. 122.149.64.173 06:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that this will vary depending on the context e.g., if talking about previous studies and thinking, then it would be past tense. If talking about the ideas as they exist now, present tense. For discussions about the future, future tense.

Inter-wiki links
I just had a very quick look over your chapter and did some wiki-tweaks. It looks very impressive and I look forward to reading it in more detail. The one aspect I noticed that could be improved is to add some links to key relevant wikipedia articles e.g., Socrates. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:50, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
