Two Positions - theoretical

Social justice/social responsibility - do attitudes change - critical theory? (Sonka) - demand for change and raising awareness and advocacy about the needs of disabled people in a digital world - most papers introduce the subject like this how their needs are overlooked. Pre and post attitudes (social activist piece) - currently people discriminated against because people aren’t aware - legal/equality - change society to make it more inclusive. (Change the Social construction of knowledge and how we view society - changing the narrative) - survey of attitudes pre and post followed by qualitative interviews to explore further. - empathy papers and cost/return on investment arguments mainly from industry (cost/time of meeting the needs of the marginalised minority). - subject as a litmus paper to find out response to it. - slow progress so what’s the problem/. Current attitudes of the younger generation in relation to the topic when awareness is raised.

Social constructivist pedagogy of lesson materials (voices of experience of educational intervention (Lewthwaite).

Most papers say this isn’t taught because of the lack of pedagogical materials and guidance not because people aren’t willing. And that young people have very little awareness prior to their university courses. Education preparing them for the needs of the workplace and understanding inclusive practices in the digital world. Pedagogy- planned, enacted and experienced - piece about supporting the implementation of a taught curriculum. (Socially constructed from the experiences of those participating) - Mixed methods and triangulation of evidence - pre/post knowledge, interviews, student assessment work (as per most papers)

Argue why second is most appropriate e.g. how others have approached it and about filling the gap of teaching resources- evidence that people ‘know what needs to be done and know it’s the right thing’ but don’t have the support to do it. - subject as a pragmatic what works for teaching the subject.

Ethical considerations for each?

 #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...

Ideas for initial quantitative survey data

Phase 1 will be an initial survey to paint a basic picture of knowledge in schools. This survey I aim to do with a large number of respondents to get a broad picture of a range of schools and scale to have more reliable data to be able to group and analyse. This will be followed up with semi structured interviews to add more detail and to explain and better understand the findings. This will be smaller in scale but across a cross section of participants from a range of settings. *This in terms of Dewey is going to help identify the extent of the problem and help reflect on the problem. Any findings can also be located in literature to triangulate and discuss. Phase 2 will be focus groups exploring a range of knowledge concepts and resources (suggested solutions) with both teachers and learners to identify their level of understanding of each of them is and what could be realistically embedded into the curriculum and at what point or made visible and understood in the education space to...
