Abstract
There is a need for emphasis on improving educational practices in schools by making classroom education more inclusive so that all types of students can participate actively in learning, regardless of their interests, disabilities and learning styles. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect on student academic achievement when undergone through a curriculum integrated technology-based universal design of learning approach. This study has used a quasi-experimental design method with pre-test and post-test on 50 elementary school students. The results of the study have demonstrated significant differences in terms of the academic achievement of elementary school students. In conclusion, the results indicate that a curriculum integrated technology-based universal design of learning approach may prove to be effective in improving the academic achievement of students. This study will pave the way for teachers who want to include UDL in their daily teaching.
