Assignment: Discussion-Sex Segregation
In this assignment, you will explore socially derived gender norms and the role they play in primary education environments.
Assume that a friend is thinking about sending her six-year-old daughter to an all-girls' school. She has asked for your opinion on whether all-girls' schools are better for girls in terms of fostering achievement and self-esteem.
Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research sex-segregated education.
Based on your research, respond to the following:
- What are your personal views on having sex-segregated education? What do you base these opinions on (personal experience, research, opinions of others, or media reports)?
- What, according to scientific literature, are the biological, cultural, or social reasons for or against sex-segregated education? Is there evidence to suggest that there may be academic areas where sex-segregated education for girls or boys is beneficial?
- Would sex-segregated education affect self-confidence and self-esteem in students and impact success in work, school, or the social environment?
- Would you recommend that your friend send her daughter to an all-girls' school?
Please note that your responses should represent both girls and boys with regard to your overall assessment of sex-segregated instruction.
Give reasons and examples from research in support of your assertions. Be sure to integrate research and personal views in your response.
Write your initial response in 300-400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
