The Examination of the Reflections of the Universal Design Learning-Based Gender Role Program on University Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a Universal Design for Learning (UDL)-based gender role program on university students. The research was carried out utilizing an embedded mixed research design. The participants in the research took part in a UDL-Based Gender Role Program that focused on sustainable development goals and gender equality. The study group included 15 female (83.3%) and three male (16.7%) university students enrolled in undergraduate programs at a foundation university during the 2021-2022 academic year. The Gender Roles Attitude Scale, reflection papers, learning diaries, and focus group interviews were used to collect data. SPSS was used to conduct quantitative data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The content analysis technique was used to analyse the qualitative data. The quantitative results of the study found no statistically significant difference between participants' pre-test and post-test scores in terms of egalitarian gender roles, female gender roles, and total scores for sub-dimension of gender roles in marriage. However, the post-test showed a statistically significant difference in overall scores for traditional gender roles and male gender role sub-dimensions. The qualitative outcomes of the study revealed that studies on gender roles have a positive impact on participants' perceptions and awareness.
