Assess whether school-based teacher-led screening is effective at identifying children with motor difficulties.
Evidence suggests that children struggle to acquire age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS), despite their importance for facilitating physical activity. This has led calls routine school-based screening of children's FMS. However, there is limited research exploring schools' capacity conduct such assessments. study investigated what factors might affect the adoption and implementation FMS assessments in primary schools. School staff (n = 853) completed an online questionnaire...
The routine measurement of children’s developmental health varies across educational settings and systems. Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) is a routinely recorded measure child’s development completed at the end their first school year, for all children attending in England Wales. Despite widespread use research purposes, properties are unknown. This study examined internal consistency structural validity EYFSP, investigating whether summed item-level scores, which we refer to...
Background: Approximately 5% of children are affected by a neurodevelopmental disorder their sensorimotor skills. DSM-V and ICD-10, the two most widely used classifications systems, define this diagnostically as either ‘Developmental Coordination Disorder’ (DCD) or ‘Specific Developmental Disorder Motor Function’ (SDDMF, respectively). Being diagnosed with DCD/SDDMF has been found to have detrimental impact on long-term health education outcomes. Research repeatedly highlights parental...

DSM-V and ICD-10, the two most widely used diagnostic systems, define this diagnostically as ‘Developmental Coordination Disorder’ (DCD) or ‘Specific Developmental Disorder Motor Function’ (SDDMF), respectively. A diagnosis DCD/SDDMF has been found to have detrimental impact on range outcomes (e.g., health education). It is therefore crucial that these receive timely...
Abstract Across the lifespan ability to follow instructions is essential for successful completion of a multitude daily activities. This will often rely on storage and processing information in working memory, previous research this domain has found that self-enactment at encoding or observing other-enactment (demonstration) improves performance recall. However, no memory directly compared these manipulations. Experiment 1 explored effects both demonstration young adults’ (N=48) recall...
A large proportion of children are not able to perform age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS). Thus, it is important assess FMS so that needing additional support can be identified in a timely fashion. There great potential for universal screening schools, but research has established current assessment tools fit purpose.To develop and validate the psychometric properties tool designed specifically meet demands schools.A working group consisting academics from developmental...

Abstract Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with cognitive, behavioural, and developmental impairments throughout the lifespan of affected individuals, but there limited evidence on how early this impact can be identified through routinely collected childhood data. This paper explores relationship between PAE Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP), a statutory teacher-based summative assessment development in relation to learning goals. analysis uses Born Bradford dataset,...
Abstract Background Evidence suggests that significant numbers of school children fail to acquire age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS), despite the importance FMS in facilitating participation physical activities. This has led calls for an increase routine screening children’s settings. However, there is limited research exploring teachers’ knowledge FMS, and capacity schools conduct such assessments. project therefore aimed explore primary investigated what factors might...

The disconnect between insights generated from data and real-life practices of decision makers presents a number open questions for visual analytics (VA). In public service planning, routine are often perceived as unavailable, biased, incomplete inconsistent across services. Decision rely on qualitative - sometimes collected through co-production to understand the lived experience communities before formulating decision. We followed subjectivist case study approach immersed ourselves in...
