Editorial information: AAATE: Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe.
This short paper presents a research study conducted under the ATHENA project, examining if and how issues of accessibility are integrated in Higher Education curricula in various European Countries across disciplines of studies.
Data collection includes publicly available curricula of higher education programmes in disciplines defined by the ISCED fields of education and training 2013 (ISCED-F 2013). A fixed number of 21 bachelor’s master’s curricula and syllabi are sampled in each participating country.
Two methodological approaches are applied for collection and analysis of the data: corpus linguistics and thematic analysis.
The findings of the study are anticipated to inform the development of a set of recommendations on how to incorporate accessibility and universal design into higher education curricula through focus groups with experts from the main areas of knowledge.
The publication refers to the preliminary results of an Erasmus+ Project, in which data from Cyprus are included, as well as data from other countries of the project consortium: Spain, Austria and Czech Republic
