Abstract

A questionnaire survey on instructional techniques of universal design for class lessons was conducted among university students who wish to become regular classroom teachers. More than half of the respondents answered that they knew that the techniques corresponded to “participation (activity)” as the lowest level and to “understanding (comprehension)” as the second level in the context of the “hierarchical model of learning in the classroom”. Many of the respondents answered that they did not know about instructional techniques which corresponded to “learning (mastering)” as the third level and to “utilization (using)” as the fourth level in the hierarchical model. The fact that many of the respondents had opportunities to learn about instructional techniques for universal design of class lessons in university lectures indicated the usefulness of including the lectures in the teaching curriculum. In addition, a small number of respondents had experiential learning opportunities through classes at schools, volunteer work, part-time jobs, and teaching practice. In terms of learning about universal design for class lessons, it is important to ensure that students have opportunities to exchange theoretical knowledge gained through lectures with practical knowledge gained in the field of education.
