Towards a New Culture in Physical Education with the Universal Design for Learning
The traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to curriculum tends to ignore the individual
diversity in learning strengths, challenges, and interests creating barriers to learning and
inclusion in Physical Education.
The Universal design for learning (UDL), based on neuroscience research and the work of
educational psychologist Lev Vygotsky, is meaningful framework increasingly evident in
discussions of approaches to enhance educational access for all students. The purpose of this
article is to explore and analyze the Universal Design for learning (UDL) to build a didactic
plan that ensures the active participation and success in learning of all students in Physical
Education regardless of their ability.
