Combining Universal Design for Learning and Total Quality in Education for the promotion of inclusion in a Greek primary class

Modern social, educational and cultural challenges, emerging through the multicultural reality and the mosaic of learning diversity, makes it necessary to develop educational practices that promote inclusive education. This article studies ways to promote inclusive education through the combination of universal design for learning (UDL) and total quality in education (TQE) after an intervention in a primary class in Greece. In particular, it is guided by the question: "How does the implementation of the principles of UDL and TQE contribute to the promotion of equal opportunities for all students?" For the purposes of the research, were used photovoice, observations, interviews as well as the reflective diary. The results revealed the dynamic of the two above-mentioned philosophies to promote inclusive education. They have led to the elimination of phenomena of marginalization, the increase of the participation, the overcome of barriers and the offer of equal opportunities to all.
