Universal Design for Learning
Principle of Engagement - Guideline 2 - Sustaining Effort and Persistence
The third
principle of UDL, "provide multiple means of engagement”, helps promote an inclusive learning environment on many levels.
When developing a course and focusing on this principle, there are three
guidelines to follow. They are:
- Recruiting Interest
- Sustaining Effort and Persistence
- Self-Regulation
The second guideline, Sustaining Effort and Persistence,
addresses maintaining focus and determination.
- Initial motivation
- Susceptibility to contextual inference
- Skills for self-regulation
- Capacity for self-regulation
One instructional goal is to empower learners by building
skills in self-regulation and self-determination. This will assist all the
learners by ensuring each has the necessary skill set. By developing a learning
environment that supports learners adversely affected by the factors impeding
these needed skills, the environment can minimize these effects.
When doing this, you should strive to meet the following:
- Focus attention on the salience of goals and objectives
- Optimize the challenge by varying demands and resources
- Promote Collaboration and Foster a Community
- Increase mastery-orientated feedback
