Faith schools constitute approximately one third of all state-maintained schools and two fifths ofthe independent schools in England. Nevertheless they have historically been, and remain, controversial. In the current social climate questions have been raised about the ability of faith schools to promote Community Cohesion and, included within that, their ability to promote tolerance. This research explores one aspect of this debate by looking at the effect that faith schools have on their students' attitudes of tolerance. As well as asking what differences exist between students in faith and non-faith schools it also looks at which aspects of the schools might be impacting on the students and affecting their attitudes of tolerance. Using a mixed methods approach, this research looks at six English secondary schools, including a range of faith as well as non-faith schools, and from both state and independent sectors. The complexity and multiple meanings associated with the term tolerance are explored, incorporating different understandings and objects oftolerance. Although not generalisable to the whole population of faith schools, the findings suggest that the categorisation of schools into faith/non-faith has little relevance when considering their effect on tolerance. In only one school were any differences found in the students' attitudes of tolerance which could be related to any particular aspect of the school. The students in the Muslim Independent school were found to be less tolerant of those people whose behaviour contravened Islamic teachings, and it is suggested that the school impacted on this attitude through less effective development of its students' cognitive skills, and the way it nurtured their religious identity. The research also finds that students in both the faith and non-faith schools were lesstolerant of religious groups than they were of some other groups in society, which was seen to result from the nature of the contact with those of other faiths provided by the schools. 3 For Henry and in memory ofmy parents/ Sam and Joyce Totterdell 4 Acknowledgements There are a great many people who have helped me through this PhD and the MRes which preceded it, many of whom are unaware of the help they have given. However, there are some people who deserve a particular mention. I want to begin by thanking those who made the project possible. First of all I would like to thank the six schools, and the two schools who were part of the pilot, for agreeing to participate in the research, as well as all the participants, students and staff, within the schools. Without them there would be no research. Having been a teacher myself I am very aware of the myriad of calls on a school's time and I am very grateful that these schools found time and space to cope with, and accommodate, a researcher. I also want to extend my thanks to the ESRC for funding this research and the MRes which preceded it. Their financial support meant that I could concentrate solely on the PhD and had one less thing to worry about. Throughout the process there have been some specific people who have given me continued and ongoing support in a variety of ways. I would like to thank Marjeta Sulaj for her unfailing faith in me that I would complete it, and my brother for his belief in me, and whose own PhD experience showed me very clearly how not to write up a PhD. My friend Gloria has also given me amazing support. Not only has she listened patiently to my ramblings as well as reading and commenting on the final draft, she also quietly, but firmly, encouraged me to take breaks. I would also like to thank Sadaf Rizvi for her encouragement and advice throughout the PhD and for her helpful comments on the final draft. The most important people throughout this PhD, to whom most thanks need to be given, have been my supervisors Dr Ed Vickers and Dr Germ Janmaat, and my husband Henry. Without the support of Ed, and Professor Andy Green who also provided valuable support in my first year, I would not have embarked on this research, nor would I have been awarded an ESRC 1 + 3 Studentship. Ed and Germ have been tremendously supportive and encouraging throughout. They have steered me through the research, giving me much-needed critical feedback, but they have always done so in a positive and productive way. Although they have 5 given me advice they have always encouraged me to develop and have confidence in my own ideas. Finally Henry has lived with this thesis, and me doing this, for over three years and by now must be thoroughly sick of it. He has kept me calm and encouraged me when things have not been going well, listened to my ideas, as well as offering practical help such as proof reading. Most of all he has just been there and had faith in me. 6 Table of Contents Declaration 2 Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Table of Contents 7 Chapter 1: Introduction 10 1.11 ntroduction 10 1.2 Faith Schools and their Effect on Tolerance 10 1.3 A Note on Terminology 14 1.4 The Increasing Debate Over Faith Schools 16 1.5 A Brief Overview ofthe Thesis 18 Chapter 2: Understanding Tolerance 21 2.1 Introduction 21 2.2 Defining Tolerance 22 2.3 The Origin of Tolerance 29 2.4 Tolerance, Religions and Faith 42 2.5 Education and Tolerance 46 2.6 Faith Schools and Tolerance 58 2.7 Conclusion 66 Chapter 3: Methodology 70 3.1 Introduction 70 3.2 Determining the Students' Attitudes of Tolerance 71 3.3 Determining the School Effect: Research Reliability and Validation 77 3.4 The Research Schools 79 3.5 The Choice of Participants 84 3.6 Gaining Access and Researching Within the Schools 86 3.7 Analysing the Data 87 3.8 Ethical Considerations 88 3.9 My Position as the Researcher 91 7 Chapter 4: The School 93 4.1 Introduction 93 4.2 School Themes 94 4.3 The Roman Catholic Independent School 98 4.4 The Roman Catholic State School. 108 4.5 The Evangelical Christian School 115 4.6 The Muslim School 123 4.7 The Non-Faith Independent School. 135 4.8 The Non-Faith State School 140 4.9 Provisional Hypotheses 146 Chapter 5: The Students' Religious Identity 151 5.1 Introduction 151 5.2 Identification: Identifying with the Faith 152 5.3 Salience: How Distinctive is the Group? 158 5.4 Relevance: The Relevant Out-Group 164 5.5 Social Structure: Permeability 168 5.6 Influences on Student Beliefs 169 5.7 Conclusion 174 Chapter 6: The Students' Experience of School 180 6.1 Introduction 180 6.2 Contact 180 6.3 Cognitive Sophistication 189 6.4 Socialisation 201 6.5 Conclusion 202 6.6 Concluding Remarks to Chapters 4, 5 and 6 207 Chapter 7: Is There any Difference in Tolerance? 208 7.1 Introduction 208 7.2 How do we detect tolerance? 209 7.3 Passive Tolerance 210 7.4 Active Tolerance 235 7.5 Conclusion and Summary 252 8 Chapter 8: The Discussion 256 8.1 Introduction 256 8.2 Part A: Research Question A 259 8.3 Part B: Research Question B 273 8.4.

He expressed concern that 'many young people are being educated in faith-based schools, with little appreciation of their wider responsibilities and obligations to British society' (ibid). Within the speech explicit reference was made to Muslim, Orthodox Jewish and Evangelical Christian schools. David Bell's remarks were interesting in that they were a public questioning of Government policy at a time when New Labour was promoting faith schools (Annette, 200S; DfES, 200St but they were not novel, being part of a much wider, and ongoing, debate surrounding the place of faith in education, which in recent years has focused on the effect offaith schools on Community Cohesion.

  • Spiritual Diversity in Modern Ontario Catholic Education: How Youth Imbue an Anti-Colonial Identity Through Faith
    Spiritual Diversity in Modern Ontario Catholic Education: How Youth Imbue an Anti-Colonial Identity Through Faith by Terri-Lynn Kay Brennan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Department of Sociology & Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Terri-Lynn Kay Brennan 2010 Spiritual Diversity in Modern Ontario Catholic Education: How Youth Imbue an Anti-Colonial Identity Through Faith Doctor of Education 2010 Terri-Lynn Kay Brennan Department of Sociology & Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract Approximately one in two parents across the province of Ontario, regardless of personal religious beliefs, now choose to enrol their children in a public Roman Catholic secondary school over the public secular school counterpart. The Ontario Roman Catholic school system has historically struggled for recognition and independence as an equally legitimate system in the province. Students in modern schools regard religion and spirituality as critical aspects to their individual identities, yet this study investigates the language and knowledge delivered within the systemic marginalization and colonial framework of a Euro-centric school system and the level of inclusivity and acceptance it affords its youth. Using a critical ethnographic methodology within a single revelatory case study, this study presents the voices of youth as the most critical voice to be heard on identity and identity in faith in Ontario Roman Catholic schools. Surveys with students and student families are complemented with in-depth student interviews, triangulated with informal educational staff interviews and the limited literature incorporating youth identity in modern Ontario Roman Catholic schools.

  • Do Religious School Teachers Take Their Faith to Work? Research Evidence from the United States by David Sikkink
    Theo-Web. Zeitschrift für Religionspädagogik 9 (2010), H.1, 160-179. Do Religious School Teachers Take Their Faith to Work? Research Evidence from the United States by David Sikkink Abstract This review draws on research on U.S. schools, especially religious schools, to understand the importance of value orientations for teaching practices, and the various ways that values and religious identities and cultures influence the professional lives of teachers. It finds evi- dence that religious and value orientations influence teachers to sacralize the teaching pro- fession through a sense of religious calling to teaching and the use of classroom space. To a limited extent, these orientations influence pedagogy and curricular emphases. Value orien- tations seem most clearly to contribute to an ethic of personalism, including an extended teacher role, and a commitment to holistic relationships and the school community. 1. On the importance of researching teacher value orientations The lack of research on the relationship between value orientations of teachers and teacher practices is surprising given the potential impact of teacher value orientations on educational outcomes, such as student effort and academic achievement. One reason to consider value orientations of teachers is the importance of teachers and teaching styles in influencing student engagement. Whether students are engaged in school and like school depends on their relationship with teachers as well as on tea- ching practices.1 Value orientations may shape how teachers approach their work, as well as their teaching styles, which may in turn strongly influence the academic suc- cess of students. A second reason for the importance of teacher value orientations is the potential for understanding how schools can promote the success of the disadvantaged.

  • The Effect of a Jewish Primary School Education in England on the Religious Observance and Practice of Less Or Non-Observant Parents Ofthe Pupils
    The effect of a Jewish primary school education in England on the religious observance and practice of less or non-observant parents ofthe pupils. Mervyn Leviton Institute ofEducation, University ofLondon. Submitted for the degree ofPhD July 2004 ABSTRACT The main aim of this research is to determine whether or not there has been any noticeable change in the level of religious observance and practice of less or non-observant parents which directly or indirectly can be attributed to the influence of their children and the Jewish primary school they attend. There is a frequently voiced assumption amongst those involved in Jewish education that parents, whose children attend a Jewish primary school, have increased their level of observance due to the influence oftheir children and the school. However, no previous research has been carried out in the United Kingdom in order to examine the basis ofthis premise. The purpose ofmy own research is to test this assumption in a thorough and rigorous manner by means of both questionnaires and in-depth interviews with parents of pupils attending three Jewish primary schools in England. In addition, there are two further specific areas that will be investigated as supplementary parts ofthe main research: [i] To compare the extent ofsimilarities and differences ofany such changes in religious observance between those Jewish families in England who formed part ofmy study, and those in the USA whose children attend Jewish day schools, who have also been the subject of separate research in the USA. [ii] To determine whether within the data ofthis research study, there is any correlation with previous research in the field ofsocial psychology regarding causes and effects ofsocial conformity and deviation.
