Research Paper On Single Sex Education

Most of the reports comparing single sex education with coeducation focus on test scores and results as the constraints for their interest. Girls in single sex schools are more prone to study subjects such as computer, mathematics, and physics. Boys in single sex schools are more likely to study subjects such as music, arts, and acting. Those kinds of boys might not be better in those subjects than equivalent boys in more male oriented subjects. Findings which center their attention only on test scores and results will not identify any alteration in the outcome. The NEA evaluated numerous studies on single sex education and reached to the conclusion that one advantage of girls schools is that the girls tend to be more self-confident in the

Once we correlate between schools offered for girls only and co-educational schools we will find that the girls are academically accomplishing more than the girls in co-educational schools, as well as the boys.

Most of the studies about single sex schools or co-educational schools concentrate on relating between them regarding marks and results as the factors of attention. A study was conducted by a researching team at Stetson University in Florida where they compared single sex classes with co-educational classes for three years, both with the same program and environments. The outcome showed that 37% boys in co-educational classes scored proficient, 59% girls in co-educational classes scored proficient. In contrast, 86% boys in single sex classes scored

Single sex schools enhance students as they tend to attain better grades and results compared to co-educational schools and it develops the student s’ academic achievement when boys and girls are segregated from the other sex due to distraction issues, grade variances, and learning environment. However, co-ed schools also have some benefits to students in developing their social skills. As a solution, I propose having single classes in co-ed schools so that can combine between single and co-ed classes, and students can benefit from both being separated during classes and gathered in their
