A Desk Review of Stakeholder's Mindsets Toward Inclusive Open Education: Barriers, Opportunities, and Policy Implications
Abstract
This desk review examines educators’ mindsets toward inclusive education, focusing on the barriers, opportunities, and policy implications. Despite the growing emphasis on inclusive education, the effective integration of open educational practices remains hindered by various challenges. The problem this review addresses is the limited understanding of how educators perceive and engage with inclusive open education and the factors that influence these perceptions. The research questions guiding this review are:1) What barriers to inclusivity in open education are identified in current literature, 2) What opportunities exist for integrating inclusive open education into practice, as outlined in the literature? 3) How do policies and institutional frameworks shape or influence stakeholders mindsets and practices regarding inclusive open education? This study employs a qualitative desk review methodology and thematic analysis was employed. Synthesized findings from various sources to identify recurring themes about mindsets, barriers, and opportunities in the context of inclusive open education was discussed. This desk review would consolidate existing research and provide a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing educators’ mindsets toward inclusive open education, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to foster greater inclusivity in open education initiatives.
