Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to find out the differential academic performance and personality development of girls and boys in the single-sex and coeducational primary schools. The academic performance was operationalized in terms of students' scores in fifth grade primary board examination in 2006 obtained from the Punjab Examination Commission. The personality of students was assessed using the Children Personality Questionnaire adapted and translated for the present study. The main effects of the two independent variables i.e. gender and type of school and their interaction on the scores of students was calculated using 2x2 Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the study showed better academic achievement and personality traits of students in the single-sex schools as compared with those in the coed schools. The coeducational schools had more adverse effect on girls than on boys on both the variables.
