RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned

I have learned a lot this semester! I have learned how to use blogs, do research and lots of other things on the computer! This class seemed fun and interesting however I had lots of trouble writing my paper. I think that we should have been writing it all semester one piece at a time and turning it in and correcting it. Over all I enjoyed this class and I got a lot out of it I just think that maybe we should have focused more on the paper itself all semester then the research!

This cite is where I found a definition to single sex education which was same-sex. This definition was important for my paper becasue I talk about it through out it.

I found the definition for single sex education on this cite as well, they definded it as admitting members of one sex only: not coeducation.

"Coeducation." Coeducation. Dictionary.com. Random House ed. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. Dictionary.com. Web. 22 Nov. 2009. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/coeducation>.
This cite is also where i found a definition and it was for coeducation.

I found a picture on this cite of a young child's brain. This brain shows areas of the brain and what they do. This was great for my paper because it helped show what I was talking about when I explaining the differences between men and woman's brains as well as boys and girls brains.

RJA #13b: Annotated Bibliography, Part 1

  1. Jossey-Bass Inc. The Jossey-Bass Reader on Gender in Education. The Jossey-Bass education series. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2002. This is a book about how gender has to do with education. I believe that this is a very creditable source for my argument.
  2. Harker, Richard. "Achievement, Gender, and the Single-Sex/Coed Debate." British Journal of Sociology of Education. 21. 2 (2000): 203-18. This source is an article. The article is a debate about the achievements of both the genders for both coeducation and single sex education.

RJA #13a: Field Research Report

I have not yet done my field research, however i plan to interview one of my co workers and her daughter. They have both have experienced coeducation school as well as single sex education. I plan to ask questions like which type was better for them and why? Also depending how they answer that question I then will ask them follow up questions and any other questions that come up.
