Abstract

Conflict is normal and essential for healthy development. The presence of conflict in everyday life is inevitable and natural, but how one manages a conflict depends from many factors. In that line, conflict management is the skill set for understanding how to prevent, manage, and resolve competing needs and interests without resorting to violence. The phenomenon of violent behavior among students in the school environment has been researched by many experts, but as a complex phenomenon it has never been, nor can it be permanently investigated. The overall aim of this paper is identifying the potential sources of conflict in primary schools and teachers’ conflict management strategies. The methodology of the research rests upon the preparation and design of a standard questionnaire for teachers. The respondents were 16 teachers from primary schools in Bitola. The results showed that, according to teachers, conflicts at schools usually arise from the negative situations caused by differences of opinion and lack of communication. In the other hand, the teachers who experience conflicts usually respond by evading the situation.
Keywords: conflict management, primary schools, teachers, strategies.
