Abstract

Inclusion in higher education continues to be a challenge, largely because of the barriers to learning that students face. One of the most effective ways to reduce and/or eliminate these barriers is the implementation of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This innovation proposes the implementation of methodologies based on the UDL in a total of 7 subjects of 4 different degrees of a Catalan university. A mixed method was used to evaluate theinnovation. At a quantitative level, an online questionnaire was applied to 239 students to know the perceived frequency of universal measures applied in the classroom. At the qualitative level, two focus groups were conducted with a total of 6 students to learn about their experiences and attitudes towards the innovation, as well as strengths and aspects to improve. At the quantitative level, the results indicate that students perceived a high frequency of implementation of UDL-based methodologies. The qualitative results show the importance of providing multiple means of participation, creating a climate of trust and security and the need to systematize and implement these measures in a generalized manner in the university.
