UDL IN MULTIFACETED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS RETHINKING TEACHERS’ INCLUSIVE ROLE AND ACTION

Giuseppa Compagno, Lucia Maniscalco, Ilaria Scolaro

Abstract


The Universal Design for Learning is a tool making learning universally accessible; it highlights strategies suitable all to students (CAST, 2011) with different potential (Gola, 2024). As to neuroscientific research, UDL suggests an inclusive teaching mode fit to diverse learners (Rose & Meyer, 2006; Cottini, 2017). The contribution reports the adaption of the UDL Reflection Questionnaire (TKI-CAST) for teachers, using the Explanatory Design: Participant Selection Model (Creswell, Plano Clark, et al., 2003).


Keywords


UDL reflection questionnaire, neuroeducation research, inclusive teaching & education
