Okely, Anthony D.

Overview

Anthony (Tony) Okely is a Senior Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Director of Research at Early Start at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He has been awarded over $14 Million in competitive funding and published around 250 peer-reviewed journal articles that have been cited more than 15,000 times.

Tony’s research focuses on movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep) in children. He is the 7^th most published researcher in the world on physical activity and children.

Tony led the research team that developed and recently updated the Australian 24-hr Movement Guidelines for Children 0-5 years, and the Australian 24-hr Movement Guidelines for Children and Young People. He was also part of the Guideline Development Group for the WHO guidelines on physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours in children under 5 years of age, South African 24-hr Movement Guidelines for Birth to 5 Years, and UK Physical Activity Guidelines for children under 5.

He is current leading an international surveillance study of 24-hour movement behaviours in the early years (called SUNRISE) which involves around 30 countries, two-thirds of which are either low- or middle-income according to the UN Human Development Index.

Impact Story

The effect of flexible learning spaces in primary and high school environments on student learning, teacher pedagogical approaches and well being outcomes.
Summary
This project was commissioned by the NSW Department of Education in 2016 to evaluate a change in school classroom design moving from traditional rows of desks to a Flexible Learning Space (FLS) design which accommodates a variety of furnishings to meet the needs of different pedagogical approaches of teachers and learning styles of students. This project has benefited the NSW Department of Education by providing feedback to teachers, executives and directors regarding the effect of FLS on children’s learning, time on task, engagement and collaboration. At an organisational level, the research provided constructive infrastructural design advice and addressed teacher concerns regarding the practical implications of a pedagogical approach which encouraged students to be co-creators of their learning experience using collaboration, independence and experiential learning in an environment where students are free to move around the classroom. Children benefitted through a more actively engaged approach to their learning which resulted in more positive classroom interactions and a reduction in sitting time, resulting in improved health and wellbeing.
