Alessandra Lo Piccolo, Letizia Pistone, Daniela Pasqualetto

Abstract


Amid the increasing complexity of educational environments, contemporary pedagogy advocates for a culture of diversity, inclusion, and active participation, emphasizing creativity and movement as pivotal drivers for the holistic development of learners. Within this paradigm, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) emerges as a forward-thinking framework. A study conducted at Kore University investigates the implementation of UDL principles in teacher education and explores the new educational challenges that accompany this evolving approach.
