Report authors Bob Jackson, Julia Ipgrave, Mandy Robbins, Leslie Francis and Ursula McKenna also work on Religion and Society Phase 2 Large Grant 'Young People's Attitudes to Religious Diversity'.
Professor Brian Gates, Chair, The Religious Education Council of England and Wales said of this report on the day of its release: "The Religious Education Council of England and Wales welcomes the publication of this major research study, commissioned and funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and produced by the Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, at the University of Warwick by a team led by Professor Robert Jackson.
The report identifies many examples of good professional practice, teachers’ use of a range of pedagogies and approaches to learning and their creative use of resources, particularly web-based materials. The report also highlights a number of serious weaknesses which the REC now calls on the DCSF, publishers and RE professional organisations to address. It identifies the ways in which teachers use RE to promote community cohesion and to develop personal and social values, positive attitudes towards those of other religions, and critical thinking."
