Hi, looks like a good structure to address the first part of your question 'What is academic locus of control?'

Make sure to equally focus on the 'consequences' and 'ways to develop' sections as they make up the other 66% of your research question.

I included some ideas below for your consequences heading:

1. One consequence of internal academic LOC might be higher academic self-efficacy (or vice versa).

2. One consequence of external academic LOC could be academic procrastination.

The study linked below shows a positive relationship between external LOC and academic procrastination. Increases in external LOC also saw increases in academic procrastination. Also positive relationship between internal LOC and academic self-efficacy. So internal LOC increased alongside academic self efficacy. Which make sense for someone who feels they can affect they environment would also believe in their ability to succeed.

Measurement
By adding a section on how to measure a persons locus of control could give a better insight into what it actually is. The forced-choice scale is widely used measurement --Jackson McNee (discuss • contribs) 02:51, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Relevant topic you've chosen as we finish up our 3rd year! It might be helpful for readers if you introduce each new theory / point with an everyday example to avoid getting bogged down by all the theory and technical language as I see you will be covering several theories.
