Tahap persekitaran fizikal bilik darjah memberi kesan kepada pelaksanaan proses pendidikan. Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti indeks keselesaan bagi persekitaran fizikal pembelajaran Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI), indeks keselesaan guru dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran serta cadangan-cadangan penambahbaikan bilik darjah PPKI di daerah Kota Kinabalu. 80 orang sampel guru PPKI telah dipilih secara pensampelan bertujuan. Soal selidik kajian diadaptasi daripada Inventori Kesejahteraan dan Keselesaan Pembelajaran (IKKP) dan Inventori Persekitaran Fizikal Bilik Darjah (IPFBD). Penyebaran soal selidik dilakukan secara atas talian melalui “Google Form”. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) versi 26 digunakan untuk menganalisis dapatan kajian secara analisis deskriptif. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan indeks keselesaan persekitaran fizikal bilik darjah PPKI daerah Kota Kinabalu adalah tinggi (M=3.94, SP=0.627) dan Indeks keselesaan guru terhadap pengajaran dan pembelajaran turut mencatat indeks yang tinggi (M=3.90, SP=0.688). Analisis pada soal selidik terbuka mendapati keselesaan persekitaran bilik darjah dapat ditingkatkan melalui penambahbaikan pada aspek perabot, ruang pembelajaran, bilangan murid, pencahayaan, kualiti udara dan warna dinding bilik darjah. Kajian ini adalah berasaskan Teori Kebajikan Sosiologikal Allardt dan Universal Design Learning (UDL). Implikasi daripada kajian ini, pemegang taruh boleh membuat penilaian dan penyelenggaraan pada fizikal bilik darjah PPKI bagi mewujudkan persekitaran pembelajaran yang kondusif.

Markmið þessarar greinar er að fjalla um algilda hönnun (e. universal design) í fræðilegu samhengi og með skírskotun í rannsóknir höfunda. Sjónum er einnig beint að stefnumótandi skjölum um algilda hönnun hér á landi. Algild hönnun er byggð á gildum um jafnræði og jafna möguleika til þátttöku í samfélaginu. Lögð er áhersla á að koma til móts við mannlegan margbreytileika, það er fólk með mismunandi eiginleika, hæfni og takmarkanir. Framan af beindust áherslur algildrar hönnunar fyrst og fremst að manngerðu umhverfi en í auknum mæli er nú einnig litið til félagslegs umhverfis, stefnumótunar, verklags og viðhorfa. Enn fremur hefur áhersla á notagildi umhverfis, vöru og þjónustu aukist. Síðustu ár hafa mannréttindaáherslur einkennt umfjöllun um hugtakið og með innleiðingu samnings Sameinuðu þjóðanna um réttindi fatlaðs fólks hafa hérlend stjórnvöld lýst yfir stuðningi við algilda hönnun í íslensku samfélagi. Þótt hér sé fyrst og fremst fjallað um hugtakið í tengslum við fötlun hefur það mun víðtækari skírskotun, eins og fram kemur í greininni.

Abstract Objective Globally, the number of digital health solutions is increasing, but they are not always designed with access and utilisation for people with impairments in mind. Development efforts have often not included the voice and requirements of people with impairments, who make up 15% of the world’s population, despite the fact that this can help ensure broad access and utilisation. Little attention to and limited inclusion of people with impairments in the development of digital health solutions results in continued and reinforced inequalities in health services provision for people with impairments. This review investigates the needs and barriers of people with impairments related to use of digital health solutions and strategies to foster user participation, access and utilisation of digital health solutions. Methods This scoping review, based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual, had five phases: 1) identification of aim and research questions, 2) literature search in five databases (April/May 2020), 3) literature screening based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 4) data extraction, and (5) reporting results. Results The literature search resulted in 5968 sources, of which 25 met our inclusion criteria. People with impairments appreciate digital health solutions that are designed to meet their specific impairment-related challenges. The reported needs and barriers related to technological design varied depending on the individuals’ challenges. The literature reported different types of participatory co-design strategies to foster access and utilisation of digital health solutions. Conclusion This scoping review support needs for increased awareness among developers to design solutions that meet people’s needs, contexts and states of health. By applying universal design as a strategy and including people with different types of impairments, starting in the idea creation phase of digital health solutions and throughout the development, developers can design solutions with better accessibility. Digital health solutions that are accessible and usable have a tremendous opportunity to foster health equity and achieve health promotion, prevention and self-care. This in turn can contribute to closing the gap between different population groups, reduce disparities and get the most from available healthcare services.

This article discusses the use of the Active Implementation Frameworks (AIF; Fixsen et al., 2005; Fixsen & Blasé, 2011) in a grant-funded project to implement the use of Universal Design for Learning as an instructional intervention to improve the access to quality instruction for students with disabilities. The discussion is based upon data specific to the AIF Implementation Drivers that facilitate and ensure the success of initiatives. The data illustrate the extent that characteristics of the respective schools and districts participating in the project impacted the fidelity of implementation processes and their associated outcomes.

The study aims to guide the assisted living facility (ALF) design, in which biophilic design, which is observed to have positive physiological, psychological, and sociological effects on humans, is observed, and the principle of universal design is accessible and designed for everyone. Since there is no place called a biophilic ALF, the study is supported by a nature-oriented design method called Green Building Rating Tools. Green building certificate systems are explored in terms of biophilic and universal design, and three of the certifications show credits linked to the theories researched. With these certificates, green building certified ALFs located in the same region are selected. With the methodology applied on the case studies of three ALFs that received these certificates, how and where biophilic and universal design patterns can be transferred from theory to practice has been examined. The study observed the extent of 14 biophilic design patterns in ALFs and tabulated how to find each pattern in these facilities according to the methods and places.

In current educational contexts, Deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) students are being educated in inclusive classrooms. However, academic and social outcomes for these bilingual or multilingual students remain highly variable indicating that meeting the needs for students who are D/HH continues to be challenging for many educators. Many D/HH students are reporting high levels of fatigue throughout their school day. To ensure the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of students are being met, a more flexible approach needs to be considered to address barriers described by D/HH students. As such, the authors use the Universal Design for Learning framework to discuss fatigue for students who are D/HH in inclusive contexts, particularly those who are bilingual/multilingual.

This chapter will be focused on contributing to the increase of universal design competencies of future engineers, educators, and designers through the use of mixed reality technologies, closing the gap between theory and field application of principles, towards a more inclusive world and promoting health and wellbeing for all. The experience of a situation where limitations arise in relation to what is taken for granted is an important experience that leads to a personal knowledge of the difficulties. By the use of simulators, especially virtual (VR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies, it is possible to create such experiences. Training based on MR can prepare future and current professionals for up-to-date requirements of the labor market. In addition, it can ensure that the standards such as barrier-free concepts, broader accessibility, adaptive and assistive technology will be familiar to trainees.
