About the Course

Student diversity is becoming the rule rather than the exception in education systems across the world. Students bring to classroom different characteristics such as ability and disability, socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, and cultural background, beliefs and religion, and gender characteristics. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all (United Nations, 2015). However, creating inclusive quality education for all remains a ubiquitous challenge faced by educators faced with increasing student diversity. And certain groups of students are more likely to experience barriers to access, participate and success in education. During this course, you will: Develop a critical understanding of the concepts and assumptions about diversity and difference, including notions of ability and disability, socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, and cultural background, beliefs and religion, and gender. Develop awareness of historical and contemporary definitions of inclusive education, taking into account policy, theories and models. Develop the ability to critically analyse contexts in order to identify barriers to developing inclusive and equitable quality education for all learners. Develop knowledge about ways to develop inclusive and equitable quality education for all learners, taking into account their diverse characteristics and needs....

Very comprehensive course that raises awareness on a very relevant topic within pedagogy. Some explanations could have been elaborated on slightly more to deepen learner understanding. Still, it was a nurturing experience.

Excellent content and good graphics. In my opinion, the course was only marginally let down by its perceived neuro-divergent, primary school, and Scottish bias. I might also respectfully question the governance of student responses. Simply answering "yes" to a question, copying large chunks of text from the learning material, and not offering any written feedback at 'Intermediate Level' is surely unacceptable. I would congratulate Dr Alves for their presentational flair, although I might suggest that the presentation on physical education still needs more work.
