“…The overall picture created by these findings was of teachers being ground down by persistent misbehavior rather than being beaten up (The Elton Report DES 1989). Such incidences have been attributed to lack of conflict-resolution skills (Garcia-Raga et al 2017;Johnson and Johnson 2000), which can be better developed before and during pre-primary years.…”

“…Conflicts found in many organizations usually stem from different goals, approaches to reach the same outcome, and/or limited resources (Garcia-Raga et al 2017). Many children and adults think of conflict as a competition that can only be judged by having a winner and a loser (Ayas et al 2010).…”

“…Balding (1996) found that 27% of boys and 35% of girls went to school in fear of being bullied. Worldwide, an estimated 227 children and youths (age 0-19 years) die every day as a result of inter-personal violence (Garcia-Raga et al 2017), and for each death, many more are hospitalized with injuries (UNESCO 2015;WHO 2010). Poor social skills, low academic achievement, impulsiveness, truancy and poverty are among the factors that fuel this violence (WHO 2010).…”

The current study explored beliefs and practices on the main types and common causes of conflicts among naturalized refugee pre-primary children in rural Tanzania. A region with highest number of naturalized refugees in Tanzania was purposively selected. A total of 12 children were involved in the focus group discussion; nine classroom teachers, and three school principals from three pre-primary schools were individually interviewed. To gain insights on home contexts, six parents who had children in pre-primary classes were visited at their homes and interviewed on individual sessions. A number of policy and practical documents were critically analyzed. Findings revealed that the main types of conflicts among naturalized refugee children were teacher-induced and pupil-induced. Further, it was found that the main causes of conflicts among children of this group were related to scarcity of resources and social issues. These findings highlight that in order to ensure that naturalized refugee children are developing to their fullest potentials and integrated into a host Tanzanian society, deliberate efforts are much needed to understand common types and main causes of conflicts. This will help in devising appropriate strategies to develop children’s constructive conflict-resolution skills.

“…Given that educational activities are initially highly conflictogenic, it is conflict prevention that is the leading activity of school mediation (García-Raga, Grau, López-Martín, 2017;Masharova, 2019). Masharova (2019) notes that in order to achieve a positive result in the implementation of reconciliation practices, the mediator has to start with him/ herself, learning to control his/her feelings, reflection, effective communication skills, respect for the interlocutor, and technologies to dampen down an incipient conflict.…”

This article discusses the perception of the effectiveness of school mediation services by adolescents with deviant behaviour. The research was based on Russian speaking adolescents aged 13-17 years (128 interviewees, including 78 girls and 50 boys). The questionnaire was developed in compliance with similar researches using expert evaluation. The results of the research are analyzed as per the Pearson correlation coefficient. The analysis of the difference in the perception of the effectiveness of mediation practices by a group directly involved in the implementation of mediation practices (group 2 of 40 persons) and a group with no direct experience of mediation (group 1 of 88 persons) resulted in some conclusions. The participants of group 2 consider the mediation method an effective means of resolving conflicts, increasing interpersonal skills, and respect for the interlocutor. Mediation is also an effective means of self-development and self-understanding for group 2. Group 1 displays infantile expectations of mediation effects and high sensitivity to fairness

“…In order to achieve this performance and to promote intercultural competences among students, there must be a favourable lecturer's attitude towards intercultural education (Aguado Odina & Mata Benito, 2017). From the scientific literature, based on theoretical and practical reflections from different regions of the world, the complexity of intercultural education is shown (Garcia-Raga, Grau & Lopez-Martin, 2017;Pasquale, 2015). Therefore, the authors of this article decided to find the attitude that university lecturers have regarding intercultural education.…”

This research analyses the university lecturers' attitude about intercultural education. The study was carried out in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, where university classrooms are multicultural spaces due to the confluence of students from different ethnic groups as well as national and international migrants. The 'Scale of attitudes toward multicultural education' was adapted to the Ecuadorian context and applied to 167 university lecturers. For conducting the survey, the snowball technique was selected, and the questionnaire was distributed via email. The reliability assessment showed an internal consistency index of 0.88. The results show a subjects' favourable attitude towards intercultural education; however, there still exist a small group of lecturers slightly leaning towards the rejection of intercultural education.
