00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:14.780
 My name is Nerea Flegueras Custodio and during this academic course I will be your teacher

00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:19.620
 in the Design and Universal Design module for Learning and Educational Neuroscience

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:25.120
 of the Master in Inclusive Education and Universal Design for Learning.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:32.920
 The modular subject is taught in the first quarter and consists of six ECTS credits.

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.000
 In this subject you will address the first reflections around the Universal Design for

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.600
 Learning, focusing on the analysis of the fundamental principles and elements that

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.040
 configure it.

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:51.320
 You will establish the essential theoretical bases so that during the second quarter you

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.400
 can delve into each of its principles in a specific way.

00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:02.440
 You will explore, from a critical and ethical perspective, what contributions neuroscience

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:09.240
 makes in inclusive education and how Universal Design for Learning guides the design of

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.520
 flexible learning environments, to minimize and eliminate barriers for learning and to

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.880
 contemplate the individual differences for learning offered by neurodiversity to design

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.600
 tailored didactic programming.

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:31.520
 Throughout this course you will go through the neurobiological foundations of learning,

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:37.360
 the importance of attachment and emotions, the impact of neurodiversity in the classroom,

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:43.440
 as well as the executive functions that intervene in many cognitive processes that allow to

00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:49.480
 direct, organize, regulate and supervise our conduct and thinking.

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:59.120
 Doing this with an applied approach, you will learn to design accessible, flexible and emotionally

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:04.200
 sustainable teaching experiences, relying on the principles of the DUA or the Universal Design

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.120
 for Learning.

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:13.160
 Beyond knowing how the brain works, this subject seeks you to reflect on how

00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:19.160
 pedagogical decisions as a teacher affect development, well-being and the right

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:21.800
 to learn from all students.

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.920
 In this course, you will work in synchronous sessions that will be recorded and uploaded

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:29.920
 to the virtual classroom.

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:34.720
 In relation to the evaluation, you will carry out various continuous evaluation activities

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.560
 that make up 40% of the final qualification of the course.

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.760
 In the Ordinary Evaluation Period, it will be necessary to carry out a final, written

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:52.320
 and face-to-face evaluation that makes up the remaining 60% of the qualification.

00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:59.080
 Both percentages will be added as long as the minimum grade established in each

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.360
 evaluation activity has been reached.

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.080
 Remember, it is important to read the Dual Teacher Guide.

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.400
 There you can consult the evaluation of the Dual Teacher Guide, the content program, as well as

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.080
 the recommended bibliography.

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:21.960
 To know how the subject will develop, I also recommend you to consult the study guide.

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.960
 You will find these two documents in the virtual classroom, in the information section.

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.800
 I inform you that, in addition, you have an email space in the virtual classroom where

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:38.560
 you can formulate your doubts or request a tutorial if you need it.

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.600
 With all this, I do not want to say goodbye without first welcoming you to this subject.

00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:48.680
 I encourage you to participate in it constructively and with a critical eye.

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.560
 I hope you can enjoy this learning experience.

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.000
 Thank you very much for your attention.
