Book Synopsis Single-sex/Coed Classes and English Achievement of TVC Students by : Milad Ramazani
Download or read book Single-sex/Coed Classes and English Achievement of TVC Students written by Milad Ramazani and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversy surrounding the academic provision regarding the positive or negative effects of single-gender vs. coed classes has increased much more than ever. Because of sampling differences, data analysis differences and contextual differences, studies of single-sex versus coeducational classrooms has not yielded a clear set of conclusions. Having taught English for several years the researcher have clearly noticed that there is a significant difference between males, females and coed classrooms in terms of technical and vocational students' end-of-semester marks. Therefore, the present book endeavors to shed light, as much as it can, on the effect of single-sex/coed class composition on the English learning of Iranian technical and vocational students.The statistical analysis of the results shows that single-sex classes appear to be most advantageous for females whereas males performed better in coed classes. Males' class showed the weakest performance.
Book Synopsis EBOOK: Rethinking Single Sex Teaching by : Gabrielle Ivinson
Download or read book EBOOK: Rethinking Single Sex Teaching written by Gabrielle Ivinson and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2007-11-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retreat to single-sex classes in co-educational comprehensive schools in the UK reflects a long history where educational policy and practice has made explicit the belief that boys and girls are different in how they learn and what they should learn. However, there is also a common assumption that there is equality in what is made available to learn and, if there is not, then single-sex organisation achieves this. The authors challenge this opinion and offer a fresh and theoretically informed look at the debate about single-sex teaching, presenting insights from research about the intended and unintended consequences of gender division in schools. Drawing on classroom observations and in-depth interviews with teachers and students, the book illustrates the effect of single-sex classrooms on learners and on the versions of subject knowledge made available to them. In exploring the differences in teaching practices between boys’ and girls’ classrooms, in relation to subjects such as Science, English, Drama, and Design and Technology, the authors highlight how single-sex teaching can, inadvertently, create circumstances which limit rather than open up students’ access to subject knowledge. The authors offer conceptual tools for investigating the knowledge-gender dynamic, advocating that learning will expand if teachers work with gender to help students to cross boundaries into non-traditional gender territories within subject lessons. Rethinking Single-Sex Teaching is thought-provoking reading for teachers, head teachers, academics and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Do Single-sex Classes Affect Achievement? by : Alison L. Booth
Download or read book Do Single-sex Classes Affect Achievement? written by Alison L. Booth and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effect of single-sex classes on the pass rates, grades, and continued enrollment of students in a coeducational university. We randomly assign students to all-female, all-male, and coed classes and, therefore, get around the selection issues present in studies on single-sex education done on students in primary and secondary school. We find that one hour a week of single-sex education benefits females: females are 7.5% more likely to pass their first year courses and score 8% higher overall. Furthermore, females in all-females classes are roughly 9% more likely to continue studying economics and business at university than females who studied in coed classes. There is evidence that single-sex education causes women to adopt behaviors associated with better academic outcomes: such as attending more classes and doing optional assignments. However, these behavioral changes can explain, at most 40% of the all-female effect, suggesting that there is a large direct effect of single-sex education on outcomes.
Book Synopsis Single Sex Classrooms Within a Coeducational Middle School Setting by : Pamela Gibbs
Download or read book Single Sex Classrooms Within a Coeducational Middle School Setting written by Pamela Gibbs and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to discover achievement and behavioral differences among students who had been separated by sex in the classroom setting. Student performance in coed classes was compared in several areas to that of students in single sex classrooms for both sexes. The project was designed to elicit improved writing skills and more cooperative classroom behavior from middle school students engaged in a series of lessons that focused on the writing process. The students were involved in writing activities beginning with prewriting and ending with peer editing. All work was completed and collected in class. Qualitative assessments were based on Likert style questionnaires and one-on-one interviews. In general, while students appeared to find this form of education useful, quantitatively the results were mixed. The girls only class demonstrated the highest achievement, the coed classes the next highest levels of achievement, and the boys only class the least achievement.
Book Synopsis Single-sex Education by : Darcy Russotto
Download or read book Single-sex Education written by Darcy Russotto and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide insight on whether providing a single sex educational environment to inner-city African-American students helped to improve students' achievement and school engagement. A purposive sample of all students in grades three through six enrolled in single sex classrooms in a public school in a large urban city was included in this research. Comparison groups were selected from a neighboring public schools, ensuring the most consistency across demographic variables. Students completed two surveys: the School Engagement Survey (Fitt & DuCette, 2001) and the Estes Attitude Scale - Revised (Estes, Estes, Richards & Roetiger, 1981). Also, achievement data for these students were collected via a state sponsored school district data warehousing system. Students were also asked to participate in same sex, same grade focus groups. Ten teachers of these students were asked to participate in individual interviews. Results indicated that students in single-sex classes had statistically higher means than students in coeducational settings on the School Engagement Survey sections of Positive Self Perception, Positive Teacher Belief, and Positive School Environment. Also, students in coeducational settings had statistically higher means on the Estes Attitudes Scales for the subject of mathematics. Students who were enrolled in single-sex classes for more than one year had higher scores on standardized mathematics tests. Although single-sex and coeducational students start at approximately the same level for both reading and math, the single-sex students consistently score higher than their coeducational counterparts. Additionally, the results showed no significant gender differences on any of the measures of attitudes or achievement. Teachers did not drastically change their instructional approach after being assigned to a single-sex classroom but they did change their approach to behavior management. Teachers do not participate in quality, ongoing professional development to support their practice as teachers of a single-sex class. Both boys and girls seem to enjoy the attention they receive in single-sex classes. Boys and girls also expressed a feeling of comfort in the single-sex setting. Boys and girls alike expressed enjoyment of all school subjects including mathematics and science. Girls and younger boys perceived themselves as being much more academically successful in the single-sex classroom. Boys in grades five and six perceived themselves as failing academically and they blame the bad behavior exhibited in their all boys' classes.

Book Synopsis Single-Sex Schools, Student Achievement, and Course Selection by : C. Kirabo Jackson
Download or read book Single-Sex Schools, Student Achievement, and Course Selection written by C. Kirabo Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing studies on single-sex schooling suffer from biases due to student selection to schools and single-sex schools being better in unmeasured ways. In Trinidad and Tobago students are assigned to secondary schools based on an algorithm allowing one to address self-selection bias and cleanly estimate an upper-bound single-sex school effect. The upper-bound effects show that while students (particularly females) with strong expressed preferences for single-sex schools may benefit from attending them, most students perform no better at single sex schools. I show that the treatment effect for the typical single-sex student differs greatly from that of the average student. Girls at single-sex-schools take fewer sciences courses and more traditionally female subjects.
Book Synopsis The Success of Boys and Single Gender Classrooms by : Kayleen Taffe
Download or read book The Success of Boys and Single Gender Classrooms written by Kayleen Taffe and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examined the difference between reading and math achievement and the assignment of students in single gender vs. dual gender classrooms. Achievement data were collected from two Federal Setting IV special education buildings. These settings are for students who struggle to succeed in their home placement schools. The population in these schools are 86-90% male. In these buildings the only single gender classrooms are male. The data collected were pre- and post-data in reading and math. The instruments used were the NWEA-Map and the FastBridge-aReading and aMath. The analysis of these sources of data will help determine if a difference exists between achievement and the gender make-up of classrooms. The findings of the study show that there is no difference in the achievement of single and dual gender classrooms. It was found that these students served in a Federal Setting IV school made minimal gains in achievement. The longevity analysis of three school years showed that the students' scores decreased overtime in these settings. The dual and single gender classes did see an increase in achievement during one school year and in both reading and math. It was not a consistent pattern of growth so no conclusion can be made on the differences in single or dual gender classes. Further research is needed in Federal Setting IV schools.

Download or read book Same, Different, Equal written by Rosemary C. Salomone and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although coeducation has been the norm within private and public schools since the 1970s, single-sex education has staged a comeback in recent years as a means of addressing the academic and social problems faced by some students. Single-sex education raises controversy on ideological grounds, and in 1996 the Supreme Court struck down the all-male admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute in a decision that has cast a legal cloud over public initiatives. In this timely book, Rosemary Salomone offers a reasoned educational and legal argument supporting single-sex education as an alternative to coeducation, particularly in the case of disadvantaged minority students. Salomone examines the history of women’s education and exclusion, philosophical and psychological theories of sameness and difference, findings on educational achievement and performance, the research evidence on single-sex schooling, and the legal questions that have arisen. Correcting many of the current misconceptions about single-sex education, she argues that it is a viable option and that the road to gender equality should be paved with diverse educational opportunities for all students—regardless of race, class, or gender.
