description In the context of the current public debate about the superiority single-sex schooling versus coeducation, critics of the latter often argue that coeducation spread in western formal education not specifically because of research-proven benefits, but rather due to ideological sociological reasons. The following study presents a historical route along some of the milestones that led to coeducation in the Western system as we know it (with a final emphasis on the Peruvian process). It concludes that the expansion of coeducation was not due to scientifically-proven benefits but to sociological or economic pressures. The paper concludes that the debate mentioned above can legitimately take up its sustenance in that demonstrated lack of empirical evidence.

The following study presents a historical route along some of the milestones that led to coeducation in the Western system as we know it (with a final emphasis on the Peruvian process). It concludes that the expansion of coeducation was not due to scientifically-proven benefits but to sociological or economic pressures. The paper concludes that the debate mentioned above can legitimately take up its sustenance in that demonstrated lack of empirical evidence. En el contexto del actual debate público respecto de la superioridad de un modo de agrupamiento escolar sobre otro (educación diferenciada o segregada contra coeducación o educación mixta), los críticos de esta última modalidad suelen argumentar que la coeducación se difundió en la educación formal occidental no tanto por los beneficios  que la investigación lograba demostrar empíricamente para ella, sino por razones mas bien ideológicas o de alguna otra naturaleza. El presente estudio realiza un recorrido histórico por los principales hitos que condujeron a la educación mixta en el sistema occidental tal como lo conocemos hoy en día (con un énfasis final en el proceso peruano), y llega a la conclusión de que, en efecto, su expansión en dicho sistema no obedeció tanto a beneficios cientificamente comporbados con certeza como a presiones de índolesociológica o de índole económica. Se concluye que el debate referido líneas arriba puede legítimamente tomar su sustento en dicha demostrada carencia de evidencia empírica.
