SUB-T02-028Inclusive Education Design
Definition
Inclusive Education Design is the systematic study and design of conditions, interventions and safeguards affecting children or families within education and schooling.
Why this matters
Children have evolving capabilities and limited power over many systems affecting them. Errors in inclusive education design can create developmental, relational, educational, health or safety consequences that persist.
Research questions
How can AI-supported learning adapt to disability, language, culture and socioeconomic context without segregating learners?
Hypotheses
Universal design plus user-controlled accommodations will improve participation more equitably than diagnosis-specific pathways alone.
Proposed methods
classroom observation, teacher and student co-design, cluster trials, learning analytics, assessment moderation, accessibility testing and implementation evaluation; adapted specifically to Inclusive Education Design; child-appropriate participatory methods; caregiver and practitioner input; age-stratified analysis; validated developmental measures; service-pathway testing; safeguarding review; delayed or longitudinal follow-up; implementation-fidelity assessment
