Universal Design for Learning across Formal School Structures in Europe—A Systematic Review

Barriers With Implementing a Universal Design for Learning Framework

Evaluating Pedagogy and Practice of Universal Design for Learning in Public Schools

Professional development with universal design for learning: supporting teachers as learners to increase the implementation of UDL

Accessibility understood differently in different disciplines e.g. UDL, WCAG, SEND. Knowledge of usability verses accessibility (UX, Accessibility and LX). 

Freehand writing to shape up

 To explore the subject of digital accessibility awareness, the research needs to consider the contexts by which teachers may understand digital accessibility or inclusive digital practices. One framework specific to the teaching discipline that covers this is universal design for learning.

UDL offers advice for inclusive pedagogical practices

They know about the importance of it, but the 'how' is the challenging aspect.

The literature has demonstrated that teachers understand the importance of being inclusive in their own teaching (ref), but to be able to teach digital accessibility awareness they are unsure not only how to put it into practice from their own perspective as a teacher (ref Galvin), but also don't have the pedagogical support or resources to be able to teach it (refs). From a methodological perspective, this research needs to explore the 'how' of teaching digital accessibility in the context of practice, and select processes and methods to situate the teachers' learning and application within a practice-based scenario. The design also needs to cater for exploring teachers' current knowledge.

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...
