Advantages Of Co-Education And Co Education

With the mushroom growth of schools and colleges in every nook and cranny, there is another trend in education that has increased overtime; this pertains to increasing co-education schools and colleges. Single gender approach or getting the girls and boys taking education in separate classrooms, schools or colleges is prevalent since long, yet the new trends in education are also leading to a co-education system (Spielhagen, 2008). Despite of a rising trend of co-education system, the debate on whether there be gender separation in colleges and schools always remain there. There is still a huge number of parents who take it a biggest task to decide whether their child will get education in a co-education or single education school.

There was a girl name Maria who went to a Co-ed school for boys and girls. She was unhappy that she couldn’t concentrate in class because of all the drama and socializing between boys and girls. Then one day Maria look up the differences between Co-ed schools and Single-gender schools. Maria found that children who go to Single-Gender schools learn and get better grades than children who go to Co-ed schools. There are many differences between Single-Sex schools and Co-ed schools. Co-ed schools are the mixing of boys and girls. But, Single-Sex schools are the separation of boys and girls. Some advocates or educators thinks Single-Sex schools are better than Co-ed schools and others do not. The separation of girls and boys can lead to better grades, less distractions and more focus in class.

There are many pros and cons about going to a single-gender school along with, a co-ed school. In the passage “Single-Gender Schools Make the Mark” And the passage “Co-ed Schools are Here to Stay” It is very difficult to make up your mind and pick your opinion. Many people thought that single-gender schooling was wonderful and they were here to stay, But that was not correct. I believe that co-ed schools are great for not only the students, but a great adventure for the teachers too.

Co-Ed schools are the better choice when it comes to finding a school to go to. Co-Ed schools give children an advantage when it comes down to being familiar with a different gender. Single gender schools can have a good effect on their students as well, but it is not recommended. When a child goes to a single gender school they get about the same learning rate as a child who goes to a regular school. Parents should choose Co-Ed schools because they are the less complex choice.

The article goes into great detail over the fact that co-teaching, when implemented correctly, has the potential of really enhancing the learning of all students (Conderman & Hedin, 2014, p.359). Before any co-teaching can happen though the article elaborates on the fact that a teacher needs to know who their students are. And when differentiating instruction a teacher needs to be able to address a “students’ unique strengths, interest, skills, and readiness” (Conderman & Hedin, 2014, p. 353). After all helping each child learn, whatever that looks like, is the ultimate goal, and this article shows how teachers can do this with a co-teacher.

Single-gender classrooms would allow boys and girls to be instructed in a way that is conducive to them. Literature choices could be offered to girls that are different from the ones offered to the boys. Science experiments for the boys could be more hands-on and messy as opposed to the girls’ science

This shows the reader the difficulty of the topic from the very start. This suggests that the educational system will always be more favorable to a certain group within our society because of societal expectations. It is also clear that because of the engrained stereotypes such as “girls are all hardworking” (Forde, p.5) and “boys are inevitably troublesome” (Forde, p.5) complicates the task of creating a gender-equal curriculum and environment. This is why it is important to realize that gender in education cannot only be evaluated as an individual variable, other factors (such as disability, poverty, religion…) come into play and can affect one’s education and identity. The first part of the book gives us background knowledge on this issue.

As a child, i went to a co-ed school with both boys and girls. We had a lot of fun. These articles may lead one to believe co-ed schools are not good for children. That is not always the truth. The 1990s are much different than nowadays. A lot has changed throughout schools such as having a seating chart, the sports are organized by genders, and gym locker rooms are divided by the two genders. Kids tend to be happier when around a mix of genders. The passage "Co-Ed Schools are Here to Stay" has a lot of support for keeping co-ed schools.

Furthermore, it has recently been proved that teachers in co-educational classes frequently favour their own gender. For example, males can dent the progress and confidence of females by refusing to choose them to answer questions or demonstrate in class. A prime example in co-educational schools, including my own, is the refusal of choosing girls in PE

While the trend of single sex classrooms seems to be growing across America it does not mean that single sex education is what is best for our students. In an article published in the New York times by author Tamar Lewin, Russlynn Ali is quoted as saying

The interest in public single-sex education has increased in the recent years as schools are piled with more pressure to increase their grades and keep teaching method fresh. It’s an old approach to the education but its gaining momentum in public schools as it has been the method in most private schools. According to the report by National Association for Single Sex Education, over two hundred public schools across the United States offer single-sex classrooms. Most public schools are venturing into single-sex education despite some objections that the classes perpetuate gender stereotypes. Most co-ed schools offer at least one single-sex class and according to the experts, the number has risen since 2006,when the US Education Department passed new rules making it easier for school to establish such classes across the country.

Does your child’s education matter to you? I believe single sex schools are better than co-education schools. My reasons behind this opinion are single sex schooling has less distraction in class, single sex schools have better learning results and lastly boys and girls in a same sex environment are more likely to pursue subjects they usually would not try.

The education debate is a well know one. Although it has been well researched, there still seems to be a divide amongst society. In this report, I will be investigating the benefits of a co-educational learning environment and the benefits of a single sex learning environment. I believe that a co-educational learning environment is best as it provides students with the vital social skills needed to function in our every growing world.

One main difference is that same sex schools are usually private schools while co-education schools are usually public schools. Parents in society today differentiate the schools by if they would prefer to pay for the education (private same sex schools) versus not paying (co-education public schools). However, there is a difference. This difference is the fact that same sex education schools are more beneficial for students. Despite this fact, the costs of private schools still prevent parents from sending their children to these schools.

Everyone knows about co-curricular. What some of us don’t know about curriculum is that curriculum is as a body of knowledge to be transmitted, it is also as an attempt to achieve certain ends in students – product, plus it is as a process and it is as praxis(Mark K. Smith 1996, 2000). It gave many benefits to a wide range of students and it may help them in many ways. It is also a part of education where it is held outdoors or indoors. Co-curricular activities are optional and pursued outside the classroom to enrich the course syllabi. They are meant to complement and not interfere with the studies. Some say that it is does intervene with studies but there are many researches which state the benefits
