Adaptation Of The Educational Environment To The Needs Of The Student In Inclusive Education: Theoretical And Methodological Foundations Of Universal Design

Abstract

The article analyzes the theoretical foundations and mechanisms of practical application of the universal design (UDL) approach in the process of inclusive education and substantiates the relevance of organizing an adaptive, fair, and differentiated learning environment for all students. The article emphasizes the need to redesign the content, methods, and tools of the UDL model, taking into account the individual needs of students, learning methods, and development opportunities. The three main principles of UDL are systematically highlighted - providing information on a multi-channel basis, creating opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and skills in various forms, and supporting student motivation and participation. Also, the professional training of teachers, the sufficiency of technical and infrastructural conditions, and the strengthening of the regulatory framework are indicated as important factors in the effective implementation of the UDL. The research results confirm that the universal design approach is an effective mechanism for creating a quality, equal, and inclusive learning environment for all students.
