TOTAL VIEWS: 454
Abstract
The article analyzes the training in Inclusive Education, designed with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in mind, through teaching practices conducted in the course "Foundations and Practices of Special and Inclusive Education." A qualitative methodology was adopted, enabling both theoretical and practical understanding of the course. The data collection instruments included the course syllabus and an online questionnaire to capture participants' experiences. The results presented address experiences in the course, impact and learning; influence of studies on Universal Design (UD) and UDL; contributions of interpersonal relationships to learning; and contributions to the development of future cohorts. The analysis highlights how UDL-based planning led to these outcomes, preparing participants to promote more inclusive education. It emphasizes and illustrates how UDL planning can serve as a pathway to address Inclusive Education in the initial and/or ongoing training of teachers.
