QUESTION 1: LEARNING THEORIES FOR INCLUSIVE TEACHING (10)
1.1 Define the following concepts:
1.1.1 Universal Design for Learning (3)
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to teaching that aims to make
learning accessible and effective for all students. It encourages teachers to use
various methods and materials, allowing students to choose how they learn best.
This means giving options for different ways to receive information and
demonstrate understanding. UDL also focuses on keeping students engaged by
providing interesting and relevant content. By incorporating these strategies, UDL
helps create a flexible learning environment that meets the diverse needs of
every learner (CAST, 2018).
Reference: CAST. (2018). Universal Design for Learning Guidelines.
1.1.2 Inclusive pedagogy (4)
Inclusive pedagogy is a teaching approach that ensures all students feel valued,
respected, and supported in the learning process, regardless of their abilities,
backgrounds, or learning styles. It focuses on creating a classroom environment
where everyone can participate and succeed. Teachers using inclusive pedagogy
plan lessons that accommodate diverse needs, adapting methods, materials, and
assessments to be fair and accessible for every student. This approach encourages
understanding and collaboration among students, promoting a sense of belonging
and equality in the classroom (Florian & Black-Hawkins, 2011).

1.1.3 The capability approach (3)
The capability approach is a way of understanding human well-being by focusing
on what people are able to do and be. Instead of just looking at income or
resources, it looks at people’s real freedoms and opportunities to achieve the
lives they value. This approach, developed by Amartya Sen, emphasizes that
individuals should have the freedom to make choices and access opportunities,
allowing them to fulfill their potential in various areas like education, health, and
participation in society (Sen, 1999).

Sen, A. (1999). Development as Freedom.
QUESTION 2: CURRICULUM DIFFERENTIATION (40)
2.1 In your own words, explain the concept of curriculum differentiation and how
you will apply it in your classroom practice. (4)
Curriculum differentiation is a way of teaching that adjusts lessons to meet the
unique needs, abilities, and interests of each student. Instead of giving everyone
the same tasks or teaching in only one way, curriculum differentiation means
changing how lessons are taught, what activities are offered, and how students
can show their understanding. This makes learning fairer, as each student has
different strengths and challenges.
