Differences between Pupils from Mixed and Single-Sex Schools in Their Enjoyment of School Subjects and in Their Attitudes to Science and to School.

Stables, Andrew

Educational Review, v42 n3 p221-30 1990

Over 2,300 13- to 14-year olds in 7 mixed and 6 single-sex English high schools were tested on their attitudes to science, specific subjects, and school and asked to rank all school subjects in terms of liking and perceived importance. Results confirmed the tendency toward greater polarization of attitudes in mixed schools. (SK)
