Abstract

© 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. Over recent twenty years the model of single-sex schooling (separate education) of boys and girls has spread. These schools differ from each other in the number of students, the age of commencement of classes in single-sex classes, the level of differentiation by sex, the method of separation, the prerequisites for the transition to single-sex education, etc. The purpose of this study was to examine the results of the activities of some such schools on a number of indicators, among which the performance and emotional state of students. Analysis of the scientific literature and the results of our study led to the following conclusions: the model of single-sex education has a positive effect on the quality of education, motivation, psycho-emotional indicators of the individual, the process of socialization and attitudes towards the opposite sex. In addition, an attempt was made to predict the directions for further research in the field of single-sex education.
