General findings of the study

Teachers discovered that their teaching styles and classrooms changed as a result of their increased knowledge and skills.
Teachers' comments, complemented by students' questionnaire responses and comments and researchers' observations suggested that a single-sex classroom was a more successful environment in developing gender inclusive strategies than a mixed one.
Overall, teachers preferred single-sex classes for girls and mixed-sex classes for boys.
Most students (particularly girls) demonstrated a tendency to favour single-sex classes, although there was much greater variation of opinion amongst students (especially boys) than amongst teachers.
