Efectos sobre la conflictividad escolar de un programa de educación en resolución de conflictos en tutoría

The aim of this study was to test an intervention program to improve school coexistence in Secondary Education. The intervention program consisted of ten units for the training of students in conflict resolution. It was applied to classroom groups of first cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education, second cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate of an IES by their teachers in tutoring schedule. The implementation of these units was accompanied by the use of this material by tutors to manage everyday school conflicts in a negotiated or mediated way. It was also accompanied by regular monitoring meetings. The students� perceived level of violence in the experimental classrooms was compared with the perceived level in the classrooms where intervention program was not applied. The results show that intervention was more effective in the first cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate than in second cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education. They also show a greater impact on violence committed by the students than on violence committed by teachers. The influence of experimental mortality on the results is discussed
