Single-sex schools This study examines the performance level of Jamaican students in the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced Level science examinations to establish whether the trend observed at the Ordinary Level, whereby students of both sexes attending single-sex institutions outperform their counterparts in the co-educational setting, especially in the sciences, was maintained. Data were collected for 1,877 candidates in the 1985/1986 base year from a sample of 38 schools--7 boys' single-sex, 9 girls' single-sex, and 22 co-educational schools. Findings showed that, at the Advanced Level, girls in the single-sex setting outperformed their counterparts attending co-educational schools, in the sciences. The performance of boys in the co-educational schools was significantly improved over their performance at the Ordinary Level 2022-01-18T18:06:06Z 2022-01-18T18:06:06Z 1987 1027 http://hdl.handle.net/2139/53127 Michigan National Science Foundation, University of Michigan Contributions to the Fourth GASAT (Girls in Science and Technology) Conference, Vol. 1 School of Education Library, UWISA - Q130 G57 F68
