Single-Sex Education Is Assailed in Report

Single-sex education is ineffective, misguided and may actually increase
gender stereotyping, a paper to be published Friday asserts.
.
The report, The Pseudoscience of Single Sex Schooling, to be published in
Science magazine by eight social scientists who are founders of the
nonprofit American Council for CoEducational Schooling, is likely to
ignite a new round of debate and legal wrangling about the effects of
single-sex education.
.
It asserts that sex-segregated education is deeply misguided and often
justified by weak, cherry-picked or misconstrued scientific claims rather
than by valid scientific evidence.
.
But the strongest argument against single-sex education, the article said,
is that it reduces boys and girls opportunities to work together, and
reinforces sex stereotypes. Boys who spend more time with other boys
become increasingly aggressive, the article said. Similarly, girls who
spend more time with other girls become more sex-typed.
.
The authors are psychologists and neuroscientists from several
universities who have researched and written on sex differences and sex
roles. The Science article is not based on new research, but rather is a
review of existing research and writing.
.
The lead author, Diane F. Halpern, is a past president of the American
Psychological Association who holds a chair in psychology at Claremont
McKenna College in California. She is an expert witness in litigation in
which the American Civil Liberties Union is challenging single-sex classes
which have been suspended at a school in Vermilion Parish, La.
.
Arguing that no scientific evidence supports the idea that single-sex
schooling results in better academic outcomes, the article calls on the
Education Department to rescind its 2006 regulations weakening the Title
IX prohibition against sex discrimination in education. Under those rules,
single-sex classes may be permitted as long as they are voluntary,
students have a substantially equal coeducational option and the school
reasonably believes separation will produce better academic outcomes.
.
Russlynn H. Ali, the assistant secretary for civil rights at the Education
Department, said it was reviewing the research.
