 Explain study:

Rationale for school to address retrofit 

Lit rev for curriculum components and explore teaching current practices and teachers knowledge. Also looking at learning age to introduce topic.

Outcome was an exploratory study of 3 phases:

Scoping review of school teachers knowledge - and this identified gaps in subject matter knowledge and little pedagogical experiences (teaching of it/being taught about it) - led to putting specific support mechanisms in place to be able to discuss the teaching of it - these were an e-learning course to offer teachers some baseline learning in the components identified from the lit review- ENABED handout you were given. Also a pedagogical guide matrix table CoRe to identify and discuss elements of pedagogical practice e.g. structured conversations using PCKg 4 areas.- handouts of findings.

My research questions are;

Prior knowledge and experience of school teachers (literature only really explores HE for the teaching of DA

Identify curriculum opportunities 

Identify teachers support needs 

How those with SME could help to support and shape school implementation- which is why we are here.

Be as descriptive as possible in your answers.

To start off (10-15)

What difference do you think it would make if children were taught about the components of DA awareness as an embedded part of their schooling an education? (To disabled people and to the tech industry)

What do you know about any current teaching of digital accessibility awareness at any level of education? (Professional training, but more specifically teaching within the formal educational curriculum - any other educational research about the teaching of DA?

What pedagogical - teaching/training experience or knowledge/training do you have? E.g. any experience, background or training in the practical application of being able to teach? - E.g is your knowledge primarily SME or does it broaden to any pedagogical expertise?

Subject matter identified in this case is the framework of ENABLED concepts- would this cover the broader multidisciplinary nature of the topic or are there any gaps in that framework?

What knowledge and experiences related to ENABLED could you bring to support or steer a school based implementation?

Now let’s explore and focus on the teacher findings…and how you as SME or people with lived experience could help to support, guide or shape a school based intervention- considering the starting point potentially as UKS2 (age 9-11)

Pragmatism as ontology and epistemology

Ontological and Epistemological Position This research is grounded in a  pragmatic paradigm , which embraces methodological pluralism and foregrounds the research question as the primary driver of methodological choices. Rather than aligning exclusively with either a positivist or interpretivist worldview, pragmatism offers a flexible ontological and epistemological stance that recognises the value of both objective and subjective understandings of educational practice. Ontologically , pragmatism rejects rigid dualisms between realism and relativism, instead adopting a  situated, action-oriented ontology  that acknowledges both the existence of observable educational phenomena (such as curriculum structures or pedagogical practices) and the constructed meanings that teachers and learners ascribe to them. In this study, teacher readiness to teach digital accessibility is understood not as a fixed trait, but as a dynamic construct shaped by contextual, experiential, and sys...

PCK as conceptual framework

Conceptual frameworks guiding this study:   The social model of disability and inclusive design  Pedagogical content knowledge  Pedagogy as planned, enacted and experienced  Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Its Importance for Teachers Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), a concept first introduced by Lee Shulman (1986), represents the intersection of a teacher’s understanding of subject matter and their knowledge of how to teach that subject effectively. It transcends mere content knowledge and generic pedagogical strategies, focusing instead on the nuanced ways in which subject matter is transformed for teaching. PCK encompasses an understanding of what makes specific topics difficult or easy to learn, the preconceptions and misconceptions learners commonly bring to the classroom, and the most effective strategies for helping students grasp complex concepts (Shulman, 1987). Critically, PCK serves as the foundation of effective teaching, bridging the gap between the...

Another set of thematic analysis papers

Braun and Clarke (2021);  Massey, 2011;   Trainor and Bundon (2021); Byrne (2022); Peel (2020). One size fits all? What counts as quality practice in (reflexive) thematic analysis? Braun and Clarke (2021) Following procedure is not a guarantor for doing  ‘ good TA (p.329) TA does  –  we believe  –  offer a distinct way of working with qualitative data, and that, although it shares some features in common with other approaches that seek to identify  ‘ patterns ’  in data (e.g., grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis [IPA] or qualitative content analysis), it is nonetheless a method (or cluster of methods) in its own right. (p.330) Through this writing, developing a TA website, 1  and teaching, our understanding of the (evolving) landscape of TA (as we see it)   has deepened, as has our clarification of where our approach  ‘ fits, ’ and what   elements are most vital to quality (reflexive) TA, and why.
