The Muslim group is most positive about citizenship as a subject. Those claiming to be
members of the Church of England and especially those stating they had no religion were
least positive.
‘It’s not really classed as a lesson. It’s kind of chill-out time. It’s a kind of nothing.’
In summary, the data in this section suggests that for individual items there are a number
of influential variables. However it would be wrong to draw overall conclusions about the
importance of any one of those variables without looking holistically at responses to the
whole questionnaire. Accordingly in the next chapter an exploratory factor analysis is
reported.
Religion appears to be an influential variable in this data: refer to p80 of the report.
