本文利用爱尔兰教育制度的一个显著特点，考察了单一性别教育对数学成绩排名靠前的性别差异的影响。爱尔兰的小学制度很有趣，这既是因为许多孩子上的是单一性别学校，也是因为这些单一性别学校是一般教育系统的一部分，而不是为特定的社会经济群体服务。与对其他国家的研究一致，我们发现了有利于男孩的显著性别差距，但与文献中的建议相反，我们的结果没有提供证据表明单一性别教育缩小了这种差距。如果说有什么不同的话，那就是在单一性别学校接受教育的孩子的性别差异比在男女同校学校接受教育的孩子更大。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper uses a distinctive feature of the Irish education system to examine the impact of single-sex education on the gender difference in mathematical achievement at the top of the distribution. The Irish primary school system is interesting both for the fact that many children attend single-sex schools, and because these single-sex schools are part of the general educational system, rather than serving a particular socio-economic group. In keeping with research on other countries, we find a significant gender gap in favour of boys, but contrary to suggestions in the literature, our results provide no evidence that single-sex schooling reduces the gap. If anything, the gender differential is larger for children educated in single-sex schools than in coeducational schools. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
