Enhancing Girls' Learning through Single-Sex Education: Evidence and a Policy Conundrum.
Jimenez, Emmanuel; Lockheed, Marlaine E.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v11 n2 p117-42 Sum 1989
Relative performance of single-sex education and coeducation for 3,265 eighth graders in Thailand was assessed. Scores on standardized mathematics tests indicate that single-sex schools are more effective for females, whereas coeducational schools are more effective for males in improving student mathematics performance. These differentials are largely because of peer effects. (TJH)
