Researchers in the field of civic education have discovered the changing trends in attitudes related to civic education. Of importance is the discovery that both family and school relations determine the levels of interaction (Ainley et al., 2011). However, school relations and influence have been found to have a considerably higher influence than family relations. This is particularly because of the high levels of political organization within the school environment. Despite this, the level of influence that the family holds as a variable in civic and political education remains significant (Feith, 2011).

These kinds of questions should utilize quantitative research approaches to quantify, or count, the effect being measured. However, some research questions cannot be answered by using just a number or percentage. These kinds of research questions should be studied using qualitative ...
