Summary/Direct Quote
(i.e., teacher’s creativity in assignments and activities). Girls reported SSI classes were more orderly and organized, with teachers exerting less control than in their CE classes, whereas boys reported the opposite.

Girls reported SSI as academically preferable because there were fewer disruptions (Parker & Rennie, 2002), better opportunities to concentrate on work (Mullholland et al., 2004), and diminished feelings of embarrassment for speaking up in class (Jackson & Smith, 2000; McCoy, 1995).
