=My Notes= The research I'm familiar with actually shows a null effect for single - sex education for men. And there have been shown to be disadvantages, one of them being the intolerance for difference fostered by excluding women, the lack of female role models--very important for young men being educated to join a coed world.

But the study concludes that coeducation should be expanded in the future high school education. Because of the realistic demands for coed schooling which result from socio-economic conditions, segregated education does not guarantee equal education for girls, so the existing system of classroom segregation in coed high schools provides an attractive socio-psychological alternative which cultivates relationship-oriented values as well as the academic achievement of girl students.

The review which was done for ED was forthright: "As in previous reviews, the results are equivocal." Although there is "some" support for the concept that single - sex schools are beneficial, there is also "limited" support which was shown for the conclusion that they are harmful or that coed schooling works better.

The 40 studies which still remained, out of the large number which were originally considered, that did meet the methodological criteria for inclusion examined 33 outcomes, including such factors as the achievement of girls, achievement of at-risk students, self-concept and self-esteem, high school completion rates, college completion rates, career aspirations, eating disorders, "distractions" in the classroom, the behavior of boys, sex -based stereotypes, juvenile delinquency, and duration of first marriage.

There have also been several qualitative evaluations of single - sex experiments, but the experiments themselves generally came to naught because of the fact that they were not initiated as being attempts to produce gender equity. They were, rather, intended as means to achieve other ends.[|The Success of Single-Sex Education is Still Unproven]

General: No effect for men Social incompetence due to lack of opposite gender No conclusive evidence for success of single-sex education Better in high school
