Carole, Hooper – History of Education Review, 2021
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.

Meetoo, Veena – Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2020
This paper explores the presence of multiculturalism in teachers' professional practice in a British inner city co-educational secondary school, which featured in two predominant ways: first, as a form of 'diversity management' through interventions including a formalised staffing structure to 'respond' to the school's ethnically mixed student…

Fabes, Richard A.; Martin, Carol Lynn; Hanish, Laura D.; DeLay, Dawn – School Psychology Quarterly, 2018
Despite the fact that most boys and girls are in classrooms together, there is considerable variation in the degree to which their classrooms reflect gender integration (GI). In some classrooms, boys' and girls' relationships with each other are generally positive and harmonious. However, in other classes, students tend to only work with…

Fabes, Richard A.; Martin, Carol Lynn; Hanish, Laura D.; Galligan, Kathrine; Pahlke, Erin – Educational Policy, 2015
Gender-segregated (GS) schooling has become popular in the United States despite the fact that every major review has concluded that GS schooling is not superior to coeducational schooling. Moreover, concern has been raised that GS schooling leads to negative effects, including increased gender stereotyping. We argue that these negative effects…

Hills, Laura A.; Croston, Amanda – Sport, Education and Society, 2012
Physical education (PE) remains the subject in coeducational schools that is most likely to be delivered in gender segregated sessions.

Day, Richard; Cleveland, Roger; Hyndman, June O.; Offutt, Don C. – Journal of Negro Education, 2013
The anti-slavery ministry of Rev. John G. Fee and the unlikely establishment of Berea College in Kentucky in the 1850s, the first college in the southern United States to be coeducationally and racially integrated, are examined to further understand the conditions surrounding these extraordinary historical events. The Berea case illustrates how…

Schneeweis, Nicole; Zweimuller, Martina – Economics of Education Review, 2012
Gender segregation in employment may be explained by women's reluctance to choose technical occupations. However, the foundations for career choices are laid much earlier. Educational experts claim that female students are doing better in math and science and are more likely to choose these subjects if they are in single-sex classes. One possible…
