TRANSITION EXPERIENCE OF SINGLE-SEX STUDENTS TO CO-EDUCATIONAL SETTING

Abstract

Studying in a single-sex school has always been a unique experience that caught the attention of academia. This capstone research explores the experience of students who studied in single-sex schools, particularly Kazakh Turkish Schools, by focusing on the impact of the transition from single-sex school to a co-educational setting. Comparison of the experiences of studying in a single-sex school and transitioning to a co-educational environment provides insight into ways and processes of adaptation to the new environment, under which a single-sex school identity is evaluated.
