What Does the Research Say About the Effectiveness of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?

Date/Location:

April 6, 2023

Description:

Universal design for learning (UDL) is often a key component of inclusive education. That is, services for students with disabilities participating in the general education classroom experience UDL in order to support their  academic, behavioral, and social success. However, despite the policy support for UDL service delivery models, to-date there has been little research about the efficacy of UDL. A newly published meta-analysis study analyzing 20 recent research studies provides new insight about the research effectiveness of UDL. The purpose of this webinar is to provide participants with a guided tour of this important research in order to understand its implications for local UDL programming. Previous research experience is not required to participate in this webinar. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of research evidence (rather than the statistical analysis and interpretation).

Speakers:

Dave Edyburn

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will identify distinguishing features of meta-analysis and a review of the literature.

Participants will define the term effect size and specify its importance when analyzing research.

Participants will interpret the key finds of the King-Sears et al (2023) UDL meta-analysis.

Participants will consider how the UDL research findings can be used within their organization.
