Abstract Students are different with different age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, level of preparedness, learning English, employment and caregiver responsibilities and characteristics that effect vision, understanding capacity, language efficiency, cognitive processing, and emotions. In science classroom there are diverse learners, there is no single method of teaching that can meet the needs of all students. Instead, multiple, flexible methods of instruction are needed. But traditionally, while the teachers take class they consider the average standard of the student and that’s why some of the students with disabilities can not follow the lectures properly. The reason is that all the students’ perception is different as like as our finger print. But the problem can solve easily by using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in class room. UDL is recently identified as a contemporary instructional model for promoting inclusion and equitable opportunities for diverse and struggling learners. In the developing countries like Bangladesh, research regarding science lecturers’ perception on universal design for learning is limited. So, it is difficult to know how to make proper planning, implementation, and providing professional development based on Universal Design for Learning in Bangladeshi university. In this study, the Inclusive Teaching Strategies Inventory (ITSI) has been conducted to justify the university science lecturers’ perceptions of UDL approaches and technologies used in classrooms. A series of MANOVA and descriptive analysis will be performed to identify predictors of these believes and actions of lecturers and the brief result of statistical analysis will be presented.
