UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING AND PRACTICES OF INTEGRATED DIGITAL DIDACTICS IN THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Stefano Scarpa, Elena Zambianchi

Abstract


Universal Design for Learning is a framework for designing instruction that is accessible and effective for all learners, regardless of their learning styles or needs. Integrated Digital Didactics combines learning and digital settings in presence and at a distance ensuring maximum accessibility and inclusion. Universal Design for Learning well supports UDL as it promotes a fully inclusive curriculum through the strategic use of digital. A pilot study to explore the joint application of UDL and DDI in the teaching of Physical Education in secondary school is illustrated.
