Judy Miller has four current major research projects. All projects are focused on enhancing school-aged childrens’ health. This is through: enhancing the nutritional knowledge and behaviours of school-aged children; devising school-based strategies to effectively enhance moderate to vigorous physical activity of adolescent girls; and, investigating the change in coordination levels of children as they move from Kindergarten to Year 10. All projects are being conducted in rural and regional contexts.

These range from: effectiveness of ability grouping in secondary physical education; Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) in the sensorimotor mode of learning; and, female leaders in rural schools; effect of the introduction of change in school-based curriculum; and, pre-service teacher education students’ perceptions of preparedness to teach Physical Education.
