Question and CPD ideas

 Using an approach not specifically framed around disability (situational- temp, permanent)

Timely education or intervention/ addition to education with laws now emerging in this subject area and our digital world in which we live and digital future.

What is the current awareness around digital accessibility of young people in schools at both late primary and secondary level? (Or aged 13 and above) - sub question

As creators of digital and online content (justify age 13 more likely to be creators of digital content due to social media age restrictions and that social media is in the wider public domain). Preparing basic principles and awareness ready for leaving school or employment. 

*Can school children aged 13 and above understand basic concepts of digital accessibility in the contexts of situational, temporary and permanent disability, and as future creators of inclusive digital content.

Measure initial awareness of DA
Interviews of understanding (what/how/where from)?
Pre-conceptions about DA complex/technical/responsibility - why/if they think that?
Measure activities around DA (sit, temp, perm)
Interviews after activities (how well can they explain it or plan when / how they would use it?) - how has it made them more aware? What did they know initially?

**Wording of questions - try both ways - would you get different results??

*Who is responsible for the digital accessibility of content and documents?
*Who is responsible for creating digital content as inclusive as it can be (e.g. everyday things like social media posts, presentations, documents, YouTube videos etc)

Do you know what you can add to an image to make it work and be understood for those who are blind?

Findings of school teachers - exploration study??

Read to refine questions, methods, theories

Lit review sequence

  Sections : Background and context (set the scene/ rationale) Social model of disability The legal context for digital accessibility Conceptual perspectives for defining digital accessibility  The problem- the lack of accessible content causing barriers - the wider lack of knowledge AND  need for teaching about DA awareness (social responsibility and for social model to work) The teaching of digital accessibility   Not formally on the curriculum  Where is digital accessibility currently taught/how (uni and workplace) - then the gaps of knowledge prior to uni and the workplace - yet all are using and creating digital content already. Best approach found was to integrate it across the curriculum and reinforce - needs to be taught earlier in schools and then built upon - no papers in school apart from 2 The need for the primary education context and why upper KS2 - establishing the earliest opportunity to introduce and explore the topic to then build upon Cross re...

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...

Notes from original proposal

Text taken from original proposal to unpack/expand: The barriers and ‘unlearning’ highlighted during SCULPT were potentially framed by prior complex  beliefs and understandings and ‘unlearning’ or ‘retrofitting’ skills (Youngblood, 2010). As Gu (2010, p.340) explains “a large part of human and professional knowledge can hardly retain its original meaning when it is divorced from the contexts in which it was constructed and produced.” This made me consider that these skills should potentially be taught at the point these original meanings are constructed and that happens at a much younger age. To understand when it would be appropriate to introduce the basics of awareness and skills in school, I considered the age when young people develop digital skills (Department for Education, 2013) as well as an understanding of what it means to be disabled and children’s perceptions for those with disabilities (Boer et al, 2012).  In a literature review Babik & Gardner (2021) found th...
