Abstract

UDL - Universal design for learning is a useful framework for teachers and preschools to design effective educational environments and activities, ensuring the right to participate and access to education for all children. The study aims to provide preschool teachers with a new approach to implementing inclusive education more easily and effectively. Based on the UDL method and application research, this article provides a 4-step process for developing a plan for organizing activities in preschools with UDL. This process was initially piloted in a preschool where teachers used UDL to plan and organize educational activities. Feedback from preschool teachers indicated that they felt more comfortable planning and organizing inclusive educational activities when using the UDL framework.
