INTRODUCTION
Inclusive practice is an approach to teaching that helps to understand the diversity individual
students and enable them to access the course content to learn effectively. It helps to enhance the
knowledge of students and perform with all the knowledge and strengths (Morgan, 2017). I used
inclusive practice for placement at Ark Primary School, in year 2. There is discussion related to
the factors that have influence on learning. It is important to understand the impact of policies
and frameworks that support inclusive practices and they are also integral part of this report.
Afterwards the roles and responsibilities in regard to inclusive practices are also identified and
mentioned in this report. It is important to know about the benefits of improving learning
environment and the ways to promote inclusion so they are also evaluated in the report. In the
end of this report there is discussion related to the strengths and areas of improvement in relation
to inclusive practice and the opportunities that will help to enhance skills are also discussed.
MAIN BODY
TASK A
1.1 Impact of personal, social and cultural factors on learning.
 Personal Factors: The personal factors have impact on learning of the students. It
includes factors such as age, gender, and development of language that influence their
learning pattern. The students of small age are able to learn fast. The old age people on
the other side learn at slow rate. Along with that there is difference is gender as well as
girls are more attentive than boys and that also has influence on the learning (Mora and

Towell, 2018). The personal motivation of the student is also a personal factor that has
impact on learning.
 Social Factors: It includes the pressure of peers as if we get a group where all the
students are learning in an effective way then we also work and learn effectively. There is
direct impact of the group on the learning of and student. It may impact the person in
positive as well as negative manner (Tuncay and Kizilaslan, 2021). The students from
good educational background that have supportive family are also able to learn
effectively rather than the one who do not have well settled educated families.
 Cultural factors: the culture also has impact on the learning of the student. It is
important to note that the culture is set by the teachers and parents and there are factors
such as collaboration communication and cooperation. A student gets all these factors
then they are able to learn quickly and effectively .on the other hand where they do not
get supportive background and are unable to communicate face difficulties in learning.
1.2 Impact of different cognitive, physical and sensory abilities in learning
 Cognitive skills: These are the skills that are related to the mind of an individual. These
have direct impact on the way a student learns. The learns that have good and effective
analytical skills are able to complete the assigned work on time. They are able to
understand the situation effectively and all this supports their learning.
 Physical abilities: Good physical abilities are necessary to complete the task such as
reading and learning in an effective manner. They do not need any extra support to work
and they are able to find their own way (le Rou, Kathard and Lorenzo, 2021). The
students that do not have good physical abilities are unable to study effectively.
 Sensory abilities: These are critical for development of brain. A well-developed brain
helps to learn in an effective manner. So the students are able to learn in an effective
manner. These skills help them in writing and reading effectively. It is necessary to have
good sensory abilities.
2.1 Policy and regulatory frameworks relating to the inclusive practice
There are numerous policy and frameworks that are related to inclusive practice. As per
Equality act, 2010 each and every student must be treated equally by the teacher so that there is
inclusive practice. The policies must be formulated in such a way by the institution that all the
students are given equal opportunities and are discriminated on any basis such as disability
