What are literature reviews?
Literature reviews are literally reviews of the literature (the academic writing e g. academic
books, journal articles etc.) that have been published on a particular research topic. They aim
to identify what is already known on the topic at that time. The steps involved in this research
journey are:
• Selecting a research question
• Searching the literature that has been published in the area
• Managing the literature search results
• Synthesizing the research literature
• Writing an assessment review
• Rethinking, refining and reworking your review in an iterative process until you are
satisfied.
Why are you asked to do a literature review?
They are necessary for several reasons. They are an essential part of the research

, Literature Review: Supporting Grade 4 Teachers in Mainstream Classrooms for
Learners with ADHD
1. Introduction
My literature review looks at the research about helping Grade 4 teachers include
learners with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in mainstream
classrooms. The review is organised around three main themes: the teaching and
behaviour challenges teachers face, the strategies they use to cope, and the support
they say they need.
The reason for this review is that there is a big gap between South Africa's inclusive
education policy and what actually happens in classrooms. Education White Paper 6
(Department of Education, 2001) says all learners should be included in mainstream
schools, but teachers often feel they are not prepared or supported to do this (Oswald &
de Villiers, 2013; Nel et al., 2016). This review brings together international and South
African research to understand the problem and find gaps in what we know.
