JOCUL DIDACTIC, REUȘITA ÎN STĂRILE CONFLICTUALE ALE MICILOR ȘCOLARI

Educational conflict is an "ingredient" of school life, but also of everyday life, and it is a process that we, as teachers, face every day. In a school community, whether large or small, conflict is inevitable, and there are cases  where we cannot avoid it. In most cases, however, if it is controlled, it is in a position to significantly improve student engagement, motivation for learning. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that a conflict can degenerate into more aggressive forms, such as verbal and physical violence. 
Conflicts between students are determined by the competitive atmosphere (students are used to working individually, they lack the ability to work in a team, trust in others, if they do not achieve triumph over others they lose their self-esteem), the atmosphere of intolerance (lack of support among colleagues, there are resentments against the abilities and achievements of others, mistrust, lack of friendship, loneliness and isolation), poor communication (pupils  do not know how to listen and communicate, express their needs and desires, do not understand or misunderstand intentions, feelings, needs and the actions of others), inappropriate expression of emotions (pupils do not know how to express their anger or dissatisfaction in a non-aggressive way, they suppress their emotions), the absence of conflict resolution skills (violent ways are used rather than creative ways), the wrong use of power by the teacher (the teacher uses inflexible rules, exacerbated authority and misunderstanding). This type of conflict can be resolved through pupil -pupil, pupil -class, pupil -teacher cooperation, communication, tolerance, positive emotional expression.
