gender differences in learning debate
There are known differences in cerebral laterality between males and females. Although our brains are unique, some believe it is politically incorrect to say there are gender differences while others assert that male and female brains are different. For some educators and policy makers, it’s easy choice; we should have same-sex schools. For others, brain-based research raises questions about instructional design, teacher qualifications, class size, and instructional strategies.
