Breaking Ground and Language Barriers: The Power of Universal Design in Construction Training and Education
Abstract
This chapter addresses the pressing need to incorporate universal design for learning (UDL) principles into online construction management education, focusing on the challenges faced by non-native speakers. Against a backdrop of heightened fatality and injury rates among Hispanic construction workers in the U.S., the chapter employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and case studies with quantitative analysis of course metrics. Anticipated findings include identifying common challenges such as language barriers emphasizing the transformative role of UDL in fostering inclusive learning environments. Real-world examples and case studies will showcase practical UDL techniques, offering insights into effective strategies tailored for construction management education. The chapter concludes with a call for educators and institutions to embrace UDL principles, promoting a more diverse, equitable, effective, and safe educational environment within the construction industry.
