181 Preliminary WCD Reception at Driestar Christian University 5 sized towns that form part of the traditional Dutch Bible belt. Only a few grew up in an urban, metropolitan context (with more than 100,000 inhabitants): Apeldoorn (x 2), Amersfoort, Dordrecht (x 2), Scheveningen/The Hague and Zwolle. The smaller towns or cities that were mentioned and do not belong to the traditional Bible belt were as follows: Assen, Best, Bleiswijk, Katwijk (x 2), Lisse (x 2), Noordseschut, Oosterwolde, Wehl and Wouterswoude. Summing up the characteristics of these students, it can be concluded that only 5 percent of the responding students did not grow up within the forementioned Bible belt. Of the 213 students who completed the survey in its entirety, 158 were following the full-time route with their studies (74 percent) and 55 were following the part-time route (26 percent). The majority of students who completed the questionnaire indicated that they came from the most orthodox or conservative church denominations in the Netherlands—that is, the different Gereformeerde Gemeenten (including GGiN and OGG): 66 percent. The other students had other denominational affiliations, with the exception of 1 percent who indicated not belonging to any church. Teacher trainers at DCU With regard to 11 statements pertaining to the formational processes for trainee teachers and new opportunities for it in the upcoming curriculum renewal, the 56 teacher trainers expressed whether they strongly disagreed, disagreed, neither agreed nor disagreed, agreed or strongly agreed. The table below shows the number of respondents (N), mean score (M; maximum = 5) and standard deviation (SD; spread) for each statement. The table is presented in descending order based on the mean (4). 4 I thank my former colleague Nico Broer for help with the presentation of all tables in this Section.
