 nning teachers experiences of science/religion encounters: an integrated v

  used focus groups with student teachers from 6 universities and an online
  survey accessed by over 900 teachers to explore teachers’ confidence an
 d competence in engaging with science/religion encounters in the classroom
  and the barriers and facilitators they faced. Findings relate to the need
