Inclusive Pedagogy in Computer Science Education: A Critical Pedagogical Framework for Computational Access
description: Computer science (CS) inclusive teaching provides an opportunity for everyone to learn in a way that is fair and accessible. Through the traditional approaches, neurodiverse and disadvantaged learners are often cut off due to the strictness of the instruction and the surrounding limitations on support. UDL (Universal Design for Learning) and CRP (Culturally Responsive Pedagogy) are the two major strategies for inclusive teaching that facilitate flexible, engaging, and relevant learning. UDL allows you to choose different ways to learn and to express your understanding, and CRP connects the content with the students' cultural backgrounds. Gallaudet University and AccessCSforAll are some of the initiatives that have been proving that learners are more engaged when using assistive tools and through the application of adaptive methods. Supported by educating CS for all, U.N. SDG 4, inclusivity in computer sciences education not only narrows the digital gap but also opens up the door for every student to thrive in a diverse and tech-savvy world.
