Purpose: Soon after its establishment in 1863, the Board of Education -- the body responsible for administering public education in Victoria -- determined that a system of universal mixed (coeducational) schooling would be adopted in the colony.

Law, Helen; Sikora, Joanna – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2020
Single-sex schooling is believed to benefit students' academic achievement and girls' engagement in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). The latter is assumed because single-sex environments are meant to neutralise gender stereotypes. Little is known, however, about longer term effects of such schooling. Therefore,…

The aim of this study was to identify the…

Lee, Kester; Anderson, Judy – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
Exploring why more boys than girls continue to study higher levels of mathematics in senior school when there appear to be no gender differences in achievement in earlier years is worthy of investigation. There are potentially many reasons why this occurs including career aspirations, interest, and attitudes. One factor explored in this study was…
