Different cultures across the world have different perspectives about the manner in which boys and girls interact with one another. A good example is the case of the interaction that they display in the school environment. Separating them or putting them together have different effects in the classwork and social life. Therefore, I think, boys and girls should be separated in the classroom.[Gurian, Michael. Boys and girls learn differently! A guide for teachers and parents: Revised 10th anniversary edition. John Wiley & Sons, 2010.]
One of the main reasons as to why boys and girls should be separated is the fact that both have different learning abilities. Research shows that girls have a higher ability of quick understanding as compared to boys. Therefore, for the teachers have to master each of the student's progress, then they have to place them in specific locations at the cases whereby they can access and teach them more whenever necessary. The differences in this rate are evident in the case of classroom discussions. Girls tend to be more cooperative and fast thinkers as compared to boys. This is because girls are passive learners hence they work well in environments whereby they can express their visual and auditory abilities. On the other hand, boys are kinetic learners and require an environment whereby the do things practically in order to understand easily. This explains the reason as to why most of the technical jobs are occupied by men while women occupy the less technical.[Steffens, Melanie C., and Petra Jelenec. "Separating implicit gender stereotypes regarding math and language: Implicit ability stereotypes are self-serving for boys and men, but not for girls and women." Sex Roles 64, no. 5-6 (2011): 324-335.] [Parkay, Forrest W., Beverly Hardcastle Stanford, and Thomas Douglas Gougeon. Becoming a teacher. Pearson/Merrill, 2010.] [Gathercole, Susan, and Tracy Packiam Alloway. Working memory and learning: A practical guide for teachers. Sage, 2008.] [Baron-Cohen, Simon, Fiona J. Scott, Carrie Allison, Joanna Williams, Patrick Bolton, Fiona E. Matthews, and Carol Brayne. "Prevalence of autism-spectrum conditions: UK school-based population study." The British Journal of Psychiatry 194, no. 6 (2009): 500-509.]
Besides, girls and boys are motivated by different stimuli. Therefore, in a situation whereby they have not been separated, then it becomes difficult for the teacher to know the best approach to use. Some of the approaches might make the girls to develop a feeling that the teacher does not care about them and, hence, end up performing poorly in the class. The same case applies to the boys. Engaging the girls too much will make the boys feel ignored. Hence, teachers should separate them so that they can make the learning process an easy one. As well, it will also save the teachers a lot of time that would have been spent in explaining a particular concept to individual students. Research shows that higher performance has been recorded in school that is gender specific as compared to schools that combine both genders in one class. In the classroom, girls are known to score better grades in PE...
