Literature Review Instructions

For this assignment, you will create a narrative review of the literature on your research topic: Flexible learning for disabled students.

The literature review must follow the basic structure of the project template for the Related Literature section and be at least 10 pages, excluding the title and reference pages. Your literature review must include all relevant citations from your Annotated Bibliography and Literature Review Outline, follow current APA format, and consist of at least 15 empirical, scholarly sources that have been published within the last 5 years.

Specific Guidelines

· The body of the literature review must be at least 10 pages and will include the following required current APA formatted level-1 and level-2 headings:

· Related Literature (level-1 heading). Provide a brief narrative overview of the major content of the literature.

· Narrative Review (level-2 heading). Provide a tight synthesis of the existing knowledge on this topic and link this existing knowledge to your proposed study.

· Theoretical Review (level-2 heading). Provide a direct connection to the conceptual or theoretical framework related to the topic area.

· Summary (level-1 heading). Provide a brief narrative summary at the end of the body of the paper.

· The literature review is not merely a series of summaries of individual studies; rather, it is a coherent and cohesive synthesis of all your sources. Paragraphs citing only one source are a prime example of summary instead of synthesis.

· End the paper with a reference page of all sources identified in the literature review.

· The final product must comply with current APA format requirements and must be submitted in a Word document. The paper must be 3,500 words, not including the title and reference pages.
