The design, flexibility, and iterative nature that is inherent to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) makes it difficult to consistently measure. With federal policy encouraging the implementation of UDL, there is an increased need for practitioners to reliably measure the occurrence of UDL. The UDL Observation Measurement Tool (UDL-OMT) was developed to measure UDL implementation in classrooms. This article presents the conceptual underpinnings of UDL measurement and the results of an initial field test. Results indicate that the UDL-OMT has good to excellent internal consistency and can characterize differences in UDL implementation across a continuum of settings. Discussion focuses on the reliability of the UDL-OMT and its potential as a formative evaluation tool for practitioners and school-based personnel. Additional considerations include promising research applications and how the nature and context of classroom instructional factors as well as observers’ UDL knowledge influence interpretations of observations.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> This study aims to produce guidance products that have acceptance criteria. The type of research used is development using the research design of Borg and Gall. The stages used in this research are information gathering, planning, initial field testing, developing the initial product format, product revision, main field testing, and product revision or refining the main field test results. The data obtained in the form of quantitative data with the gregory model interrater agreement. The subjects in the field test consisted of two BK experts, two media experts, and two potential product users. The assessment conducted by the expert refers to the criteria for product acceptance which includes aspects of accuracy, aspects of usability, and aspects of eligibility. Based on the results of the field test the assessment results obtained from BK experts have a validity index of 0.73 which is categorized as "high", the assessment of media experts is 1.00 which is categorized as "very high", and from potential users that is 1.00 which is categorized as "very high ", so it can be concluded that the guidelines developed meet the product acceptance criteria.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Penelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan produk panduan yang memiliki kriteria keberterimaan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah pengembangan menggunakan rancangan penelitian Borg and Gall. Tahapan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pengumpulan informasi, perencanaan, uji lapangan awal, pengembangan format produk awal, revisi produk, uji lapangan utama, dan revisi produk atau penyempurnaan produk hasil uji lapangan utama. Data yang diperoleh berupa data kuantitatif dengan <em>interrater agreement model gregory</em>. Subjek dalam uji lapangan terdiri dari dua ahli BK, dua ahli media, dan dua calon pengguna produk. Penilaian yang dilakukan ahli mengacu pada krtiteria keberterimaan produk yang mencakup aspek ketepatan, aspek kegunaan, dan aspek kelayakan. Berdasarkan hasil uji lapangan diperoleh hasil penilaian dari ahli BK memiliki indeks validitas sebesar 0,73 yang dikategorikan “tinggi”, penilaian dari ahli media yaitu 1,00 yang dikategorikan “sangat tinggi”, dan dari calon pengguna yaitu 1,00 yang dikategorikan “sangat tinggi” sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa panduan yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria keberterimaan produk.

This study aims to develop scientific science attitudes assessment instruments that can be used in elementary school-based values of character education. This research is a research development (R & D) conducted for one year with preliminary study stage, product development, product trial and product dissemination developed. A preliminary study was conducted by surveying the implementation of the science assessment in primary school. The preliminary study results show that teachers in 10 surveyed schools have never implemented a scientific attitude assessment in science learning. At the stage of product development, has developed a scientific attitude assessment instrument that has been validated by experts. The product trials were conducted in three stages: initial field test, main field test and field operational test. In the initial field test, it was conducted in two schools with 20 respondents in each class. Initial field test results show that the instrument reliability level is good, but there are still some invalid items that are 11 items in class IV, 8 items in class V and 7 items in class VI. This is because there are still some respondents who have not read smoothly so that they have difficulty in answering questions. In the main field test, it was conducted in 8 schools with 91 respondents. The main field test result is that there are 5 invalid questions, both in class IV, V and VI. Operational field tests were carried out with the number of respondents each 13 students from 10 schools. Field operational test results are all items declared valid and reliable. The last stage is to disseminate products through scientific forums such as seminars and socialization to schools. The scientific attitude instruments developed in this study can be used by elementary teachers to assess the scientific attitudes of elementary students.

Design For Learning

This special series of Remedial and Special Education features four articles about universal design for learning (UDL). One intervention study describes learning outcomes for middle school students with extensive support needs. These students receive schema-based instruction that is further developed, based on students’ characteristics, using the UDL guidelines. Another intervention study examines learning outcomes for high school students with and without learning disabilities. Students receive either UDL-based chemistry instruction or “business as usual” instruction, each group in co-taught settings (Study 1). The researchers then identify results for students with learning disabilities who receive the same UDL instruction in a self-contained setting (Study 2). In the third analysis, results from applying UDL Reporting Criteria to 20 UDL studies are reported. Focusing on practitioners and school-based personnel, the fourth study describes the application of the UDL Observation Measurement Tool in its beginning stages of development. The purpose of this UDL special issue is to consolidate information that can be used to promote and enhance how UDL is operationalized and measured by researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders.
