We investigated academic buoyancy - and its predictors and outcomes - among female students attending all-girls and coeducational schools. We examined data from 1,254 female students. Structural equation modeling revealed that students' perceptions of three instructional climate factors (teacher-student relationships, useful content, engaging…

Clavel, Jose G.; Flannery, Darragh – British Educational Research Journal, 2023
The advantages and disadvantages of single-sex schooling continue to be a source of policy and public debate. Previous empirical evidence is somewhat ambiguous, with some studies finding a positive impact of single-sex schooling on education achievement and others finding no differences across school types. The relationship between single-sex…

Clavel, Jose G.; Flannery, Darragh – Journal of School Choice, 2023
A common decision parents face is the choice of school for their children. In Ireland, somewhat uniquely in an international context, this choice includes a large number of state-funded single-sex schools, to the point that this can be considered a realistic option for many parents. Focusing on secondary-level education and using the PISA 2018…

Prendergast, Mark; O'Donoghue, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This research investigates the influence that gender, single-sex and co-educational schooling can have on students' mathematics education in second-level Irish classrooms. Although gender differences in mathematics education have been the subject of research for many years, recent results from PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment)…

Forgasz, Helen J.; Hill, Janelle C. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2013
The most recent Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) (2009) mathematical literacy results provide evidence that in Western English-speaking countries, including Australia, the gender gap in achievement appears to be widening in favour of males. In the study reported in this article, the aim was to explore the effects of gender,…

Academic Attitudes and Achievement in Students of Urban Public Single-Sex and Mixed-Sex High Schools
Else-Quest, Nicole M.; Peterca, Oana – American Educational Research Journal, 2015
Publicly funded single-sex schooling (SSS) has proliferated in recent years and is touted as a remedy to gaps in academic attitudes and achievement, particularly for low-income students of color. Research on SSS is rife with limitations, stemming from selective admissions processes, selection effects related to socioeconomic status, a lack of…

Kim, Doo Hwan; Law, Helen – International Journal of Educational Development, 2012
In many industrialised societies, women remain underrepresented in the sciences, which can be predicted by the gender gap in math achievement at school. Using PISA 2006 data, we explore the role of family background and single-sex schooling in girls' disadvantage in maths in South Korea and Hong Kong. This disadvantage is found to be associated…

Gorard, Stephen; Smith, Emma – Comparative Education, 2004
This paper uses pupil responses to the PISA study in 2000 for all EU countries. Using indicators of the pupil intakes to schools and their outcomes it computes segregation indices for 15 countries, and then tries to explain the resulting patterns in terms of the characteristics of national school systems. Segregation by sex in each country is…
