I have been teaching in both colleges and found out that students at the women's college are more active and enthusiastic than students of the co-education college.
If is it true that students at the women's college are more active and enthusiastic than students of the co-education college, then I would prefer to teach at women's college. In fact, I like to teach students who are active and enthusiatic learners. These students want to understand, reinvent and reconstruct all they learn, and not to memorize ready made truths or established truths imposed on them from outside. I am not sure about what you mean by co-education. college? Does this mean a college attended by both males and females? If the is the case, I would have no problems at teaching at a co-education college. There is accumulated evidence that shows that the more perspectives we coordinate the more we are cognitively developed. So, a co-education college seems more suitable than a women's college for offering different perspctives and viewpoints to students.
Thank you very much, Orlando for your answer. This issue is relative. It is my personal experience in three Arab countries. I don't claim that my assumption is applicable to all cultures and all colleges of the world. Co-education colleges are the ones where both males and females are taught. Best regards. Hazim.
I personally feel that I should teach where students are less enthusiastic, and I should strive to create such environment and pedagogies for such students that they will ultimately be more enthusiastic towards learning.
I prefer and also teach at co-education college. However, I have taught at women only college as well, and I also believe that students in women's college were more active and enthusiastic than in co-education college. One reason to this might be that in co-education colleges, females are. to a certain degree, distracted by males.
hi. I totally agree with you. female college students are more enthusiastic but less heterogeneous views. I think that diversity can foster cognitive development for real life situations. I love gender-related interactions . So , I prefer to teach in a comprehensive university of both genders. best
