Abstract
The role of coeducation versus separate-sex schooling in the academic, socioemotional, interpersonal, and career development of adolescents is discussed. Arguments and research support for both types of schooli ng are reviewed. Separate-sex schooling seems to provide potential aca demic and attitudinal benefits for at least some students. The limitat ions of current research are discussed, and directions for further res earch are offered.
