Assignment 3 notes

 Ideas:

The progress of addressing mainstream inaccessible content is reported to be slow (ref), the same is said about adoption by digital professionals and that of wider adoption in the workplace (ref). One of the biggest challenges to progress is the lack of training (ref), as well as the lack of skills of those entering the workplace (ref) and lack of awareness of young people prior to being introduced to the subject at college or university (ref).


Student observation and feedback will be used and this will act as stimulus for the post lesson briefing sessions. Involving students voices into the narratives wil help…(ref) and (ref) which is a core part of the lesson study methodology.

Phases of the research - incorporating pre and post intervention knowledge, participatory and collaborative action research following the lesson study approach and an evaluation of the experience and development of teacher knowledge to be able to teach the basics of DA awareness. The outputs of the research- lesson plan, resources and materials, tangible assets to contribute towards future practices in this area.

Phase 1 - literature review to identify…

Phase 2 - semi-structured interviews with teachers as co-researchers to identify their knowledge prior to the educational intervention.

Phase 3 - Introduction to the research lesson with co-researchers and a workshop to adapt lesson content appropriate to a primary school KS2 context.

Phase 3 - iterative cycles of lesson study including delivery of the lesson, evaluation of the lesson and student learning and refinement of the lesson to plan for future iterations.

Phase 4- semi-structured interviews with teacher co-researcher to gather information about the development of their pedagogical content knowledge through their experience of lesson study and classroom practice.

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...
