I need help writing a literature review on a previously written proposal; "Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in Mainstream Primary Education: An exploration of the Challenges and Consideration

Hi Prof,

Please find below the points that was discussed during my Literature Review (LR) meeting with supervisor.

  • As much as possible, loads of articles (references ) are required, even if they are not so relevant, they can be listed amongst supporting references.


  • The introduction of Topic, its Relevance and Positionality is not needed here, as they are already in the main introduction preceding the LR. The presentation should reflect that the reader has had a glimpse of work to be done from the introduction chapter.


  • Sub sections should capture Barriers and Opportunities.


  • Key terms must be clearly defined e.g ;

  • ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition)

  • ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

  • SEND ( Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) etc


  • Then Perspectives clarified e.g,

  • Discussions are relating to English schools and cover students with EHCP ( Education, Health and Care Plans)

  • Discussion conveyed covers the four areas of SEND;

  • Communication and Interaction

  • Cognition & Learning

  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health

  • Sensory and or Physical Needs.


  • Reflection should cover broad amount of articles, avoid writing what seems like an ordinary ‘Shopping List’, rather , articles should be grouped thematically, Analyzed and then Synthesized to articulate agreements and disagreements.


  • Highlight the limitations of any of the sources, vis a vis its contemporaries, stronger Vs Weaker Sources, etc ( This may be due to change in policies, Obsolete information or recent development on the subject matter).


  • Criticality is key, avoid Descriptive writing.



In the conclusion section, summarize your work; relate this to the next chapter (Methodology),


The picture below is an illustration to help with a better work;
