Investigated
impact of coeducational versus all-girls schooling and sex of teacher
on attitudes toward mathematics. Data from a stratified random sampling
(n=240) of female secondary students in Nigeria suggest that the
best environment for females is in all-girls schools where mathematics
is taught by female teachers. (DE)
