Feedback
Thanks for sharing this draft. It might have been good to start with a chapter plan because I'm not really clear where this is heading or what the key questions are. However, I've wikified the draft and added some feedback below about the main areas I would target for development.

Structure/content
 * 1) I recommend establishing in the introduction some focus questions. What questions will a reader have answered by reading this chapter?
 * 2) Expand the introduction to tell the reader more about what will be covered and why.
 * 3) Can you provide some examples to help a reader understand the theories you are discussing?
 * 4) Provide a summary/conclusion section which reviews and reinforces the take-away key points of the chapter.
 * 5) When highlighting research studies, provide a bit more information about the research study e.g. who were the participants? What were the measures? What was the size of the relationship?
 * 6) Remember the marking criteria is 33% for reviewing research; currently the chapter focused on theory.

Learning features
 * 1) Consider adding some wiki-links e.g,. Lev Vygotsky and I've added a link to the intrinsic-extrinsic motivation chapter page.

Spelling, APA style etc. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:03, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) "McCaslin, & Murdock" should be "McCaslin and Murdock"
 * 2) (Saliti, & Hoosain 2007) should be (Saliti & Hoosain 2007)
 * 3) Do not include year for subsequent citations within a paragraph e.g., (Azad, 2010) but then in the same paragraph only cite this source as Azad.
 * 4) Use Australian spelling e.g., behavior -> behaviour
