Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers’
views on co-education. The study, which adopted a descriptive screening model,
involved 240 teachers (142 females and 84 males) working in four primary
schools and four secondary schools located in the central towns of Adana. Data
were collected using Views on Co-education Scale (VCS). Analysis included
descriptive statistics as well as Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis H tests.
Results show that teachers mainly support co-education and do not adopt
single-sex education. Religion teachers had the lowest scores in terms of
supporting co-education.
Key words: Co-education,
single-sex education, teachers
