Lit rev conclusion notes

 Questions:

Can digital accessibility awareness be introduced across the curriculum in schools at Upper Key Stage 2?

  • What is the prior knowledge and experience of teachers to be able to teach digital accessibility awareness at UKS2?
  • What are the opportunities to introduce and integrate learning activities related to digital accessibility awareness across the current school curriculum at UKS2
  • What type of stakeholder support can be identified to facilitate the teaching of digital accessibility awareness in schools

This literature review will aim to:

  • Outline the background and context of digital accessibility awareness education 
  • Explore how digital accessibility is currently taught within the educational curriculum.
  • Present the rationale for a school based intervention at UKS2.
  • Identify specifically what learning components and activities can make up foundational digital accessibility awareness education.
  • Outline the key stakeholders who can support an educational intervention for digital accessibility awareness.

This literature review examines the current landscape of digital accessibility awareness education. It begins by outlining the background and wider context of digital accessibility, before exploring how digital accessibility is currently represented across the educational curriculum. The review then considers the rationale for implementing a school-based intervention within Upper Key Stage 2 (UKS2), drawing on existing research to identify the need for an early educational intervention. Furthermore, it examines in detail the key learning components and pedagogical activities that contribute to effective foundational digital accessibility awareness education. Finally, the review identifies the principal stakeholders who could have a role in supporting and sustaining educational interventions designed to promote digital accessibility awareness within school and workplace settings.

Concluding structure:

Explore the findings of the literature review and conclude against the three main research questions as part of the conclusion.

## Make sure I mention the inclusion agenda as a means of stakeholder support in my teacher stakeholder section.

In this study, teacher readiness to teach digital accessibility is understood not as a fixed trait, but as a dynamic construct shaped by contextual, experiential, and sys...
