Con for single-sex: It could be hard for single-sex students to assimilate into "mixed gender" society. Are Single-Sex Schools Better Than Co-Ed Schools? Read about both sides of the argument. Is the possibility of attraction and distraction in the classroom overrated? Single-sex education refers most generally to education at the elementary, secondary, or postsecondary level in which males or females attend school exclusively with members of their own sex. This report deals primarily with single-sex education at the elementary and secondary levels. Research in the United States on the question of whether public single-sex education might be beneficial to males, females or a subset of either group (particularly disadvantaged youths) has been limited. However, because there has been a resurgence of single-sex schools in the public sector, it was deemed appropriate to conduct a systematic review of single-sex education research. A number of theoretical advantages to both coeducational (CE) and single-sex (SS) schools have been advanced by their advocates, a subset of whom have focused specifically on the potential benefits of SS schooling for disadvantaged males who have poor success rates in the educational system. The interpretation of results of previous studies in the private sector or the public sectors of other countries has been hotly debated, resulting in varying policy recommendations based on the same evidence. However, no reviews on this topic have been conducted using a systematic approach similar to that of the Campbell Collaboration (CC) or the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). Thus, the objective of this review is to document the outcome evidence for or against the efficacy of single-sex education as an alternative form of school organization using an unbiased, transparent, and objective selection process adapted from the standards of the CC and WWC to review quantitative studies. This book is a B&W copy of the government agency publication.

Book Synopsis Same, Different, Equal by : Rosemary C. Salomone
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.

Book Synopsis Single-Sex Schools by : Cornelius Riordan
Download or read book Single-Sex Schools written by Cornelius Riordan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single sex schooling might appear to be an obscure issue on the sidelines of the educational policy debates of our times. But it is far from this. In fact, a sizable number of people and political organizations would like to make these schools obscure, but somehow they are “scaling up” rather than down. In 1996, there were only two public single sex schools operating in America. By 2015 there are now at least 100 public single sex schools, despite opposition from the outset. These schools are primarily serving poor, urban, black and Latino, at risk children. This book takes up the challenge of studying the effectiveness of single sex schools. Riordan frees the discussion of its ideological and political baggage and brings a degree of theoretical and empirical balance to the debate. The book provides a sociological foundation for considering single sex schools. The basic argument is that the larger school context of all girls or all boys serves as the driving factor for producing favorable outcomes in single sex schools.

Book Synopsis Single-Sex Vs Coeducational Schooling by : Milkyas Solomon
Download or read book Single-Sex Vs Coeducational Schooling written by Milkyas Solomon and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, there has been ongoing debate about the advantages of coeducational versus single-sex education for children's socio-emotional and educational development among scholars. The ongoing debate that failed to come up with a conclusive result in favor of either single sex or coeducation schooling was once again a point of interest in this research. This study was aimed to make the first exploration in Ethiopian context, to substantiate evidences which form of schooling better helped girls to develop in all dimensions. Girls' education in Ethiopia has been tangled with cultural, social, economical and complex gender problems that left the country with 77% illiterate females who are between15-55 years of age. In the primary grades, 17.1% dropout rate coupled with average repletion rate of 7.4% stifled girls' education in 47.8% completion rate at grade 8 at the end of ESDP III. 4. Both single sex and coeducation schooling can be effective in different contexts as long as learning of students and academic excellence is enhanced in equitable way for both boys and girls, based on fairness and justice.

Book Synopsis Single-Sex Versus Secondary Schooling by : Fred Mael
Download or read book Single-Sex Versus Secondary Schooling written by Fred Mael and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-sex education refers most generally to education at the elementary, secondary, or postsecondary level in which males or females attend school exclusively with members of their own sex. This report deals primarily with single-sex education at the elementary and secondary levels. Research in the United States on the question of whether public single-sex education might be beneficial to males, females or a subset of either group (particularly disadvantaged youths) has been limited. However, because there has been a resurgence of single-sex schools in the public sector, it was deemed appropriate to conduct a systematic review of single-sex education research. The following are the major research questions addressed by the systematic quantitative review: (1) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of concurrent, quantifiable academic accomplishments?; (2) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of long-term, quantifiable academic accomplishment?; (3) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of concurrent, quantifiable indicators of individual student adaptation and socioemotional development?; (4) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of long-term, quantifiable indicators of individual student adaptation and socioemotional development?; (5) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of addressing issues of procedural (e.g., classroom treatment) and outcome measures of gender inequity?; and (6) Are single-sex schools more or less effective than coeducational schools in terms of perceptual measures of the school climate or culture that may have an impact on performance? As in previous reviews, the results are equivocal. There is some support for the premise that single-sex schooling can be helpful, especially for certain outcomes related to academic achievement and more positive academic aspirations. For many outcomes, there is no evidence of either benefit or harm. There is limited support for the view that single-sex schooling may be harmful or that coeducational schooling is more beneficial for students. Appended are: (1) Quantitative Study Coding Guide; (2) Qualitative Study Coding Guide; (3) List of Quantitative Studies Excluded During Phase III; (4) Quantitative Coding Guide for All Studies; (5) Table of Study Outcomes for Boys; and (6) Table of Study Outcomes for Girls.
