Schools, Single‐Sex
The phrase “single‐sex schools” refers to a system of education at the elementary, secondary, or post‐secondary level in which males and females attend school exclusively with members of their own sex. Alternatively, males and females may attend all classes separately, even though they may be housed in the same building and share the same facilities – a phenomenon referred to as a dual academy. A related, though different phenomenon is that of si…

"A Review Essay on the "Handbook of the Sociology of Education
Building social capital in non‐governmental organizations: Buffalo banks and borewells
Describes Childreach – a US child‐focuses development organization which sponsors children and their families in developing countries – and a recent project in development education, “Buffalo banks and borewells: Childreach makes sense of development”, which involved creating and distributing educational newsletters on Third World and development issues. Lists the goals of the project and how they were addressed. Outlines what was gained from the…
The Value of Attending a Women's College: Education, Occupation, and Income Benefits
Coeducation is one of the least studied of all major topics in education. Researchers have attacked the issues of race and social class integration relentlessly. Likewise, the question of ability grouping (separate or mixed) has been investigated extensively. The pros and cons of mixed- and single-sex schooling, on the other hand, have received little attention. Recently, however, a growing concern regarding the effects of coeducation for females…

Public and Catholic Schooling: The Effects of Gender Context Policy
The relative effectiveness of public and Catholic schools is now a matter of increasing public interest. Previous research has been confined to a strategy that treats all Catholic schools as a single type. This paper compares school effects for three types of schools--single-sex Catholic, mixed-sex Catholic, and mixed-sex public. The argument set forth is that single-sex schools operate with a reduced adolescent subculture and a greater number of…

Using the 1979 follow-up wave of the National Longitudinal Survey data, this paper examines rates of completion of a baccalaureate degree according to two categories of individual characteristics: social background factors (specifically, race, gender, and socioeconomic status) and academic resources at the time of secondary school graduation (specifically, scores on a standardized academic test, class rank, and curriculum). The paper first descri…

Producing Equal-Status Interracial Interaction: A Replication
This paper reports a replication study of a recent experiment by Cohen and Roper (1972) which attempted to produce equal-status contact between black and white junior high school boys in a controlled laboratory setting. Ourfindings lend general support to those obtained by Cohen and Roper in the original study. The results indicate that equal-status contact should not be assumed when blacks and whites interact, even when variables like socioecono…
