Self-perception and participation in physical activity in children with and without DCD: A longitudinal study (2024)
Journal Article
McQuillan, V., Swanwick, R., & Sugden, D. (2024). Self-perception and participation in physical activity in children with and without DCD: A longitudinal study. Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 12(S1), S26. https://doi.org/10.1123/jmld.2024-0049

Objective: There is a lack of innovation in affordable prosthetic knee joints for children. One significant reason is the absence of technical requirements which consider the foundation of childhood: growth. This study aims to develop and use a model...

A comparison of characteristics, developmental disorders and motor progression between children with and without developmental coordination disorder (2021)
Journal Article
McQuillan, V., Swanwick, R., Chambers, M., Schluter, D., & Sugden, D. (2021). A comparison of characteristics, developmental disorders and motor progression between children with and without developmental coordination disorder. Human Movement Science, 78, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.humov.2021.102823

Background and aim
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have difficulty in the development of motor coordination and with learning new motor skills. Studies demonstrate that children with DCD differ in terms of the nature and seve...

Promoting academic writing/referencing skills: outcome of an undergraduate e-learning pilot project (2007)
Journal Article
Brown, C., Dickson, R., Humpheys, A., McQuillan, V., & Smears, E. (2007). Promoting academic writing/referencing skills: outcome of an undergraduate e-learning pilot project. British Journal of Educational Technology, 39(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8535.2007.00735.x

Future health care professionals will require self-directed learning skills. e-Learning is a tool to assist in this process and therefore there is a need to develop the capacity and readiness to utilise e-learning within educational programmes. The a... Read More about Promoting academic writing/referencing skills: outcome of an undergraduate e-learning pilot project.
