Exploring Adolescents' Perspectives of Single-Sex Schooling: Teetering amongst Competing Views
Jennifer Mitton; Daniel B. Robinson; Gregory R. L. Hadley
Gender and Education, v36 n5 p413-433 2024
This paper focuses on the perspectives of adolescents attending a private Christian single-sex secondary school. The research literature into the impact of single-sex schooling upon learners, while plentiful, is equivocal and few scholars have delved into the views of adolescents in such contexts. To demonstrate their perspectives of single-sex schooling, the findings are represented as poetry clusters, grouped together to highlight the ways in which the adolescents teetered amongst competing views. Better understanding the related formative presence of societal messages and gendered expectations shaping single-sex learning environments offers possibilities for teachers to disrupt these norms.
