Types and forms of conflicts in primary education

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of conflicts in professional education and the methods and approaches to resolve them. It is well-known that conflict situations are quite common in professional education. These include conflicts between teachers and students, teachers and parents, and among students themselves. Each situation is critical and significant. Students in professional education are like budding flowers. Such situations can have a negative impact on their minds since they are not yet able to form independent opinions. They are always influenced by external factors, which can sometimes be negative and sometimes positive. It is well-established that conflict situations are closely connected with the science of psychology.

Abstract:

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of conflicts in professional education and the methods

and approaches to resolve them. It is well-known that conflict situations are quite common in professional
education. These include conflicts between teachers and students, teachers and parents, and among students
themselves. Each situation is critical and significant. Students in professional education are like budding flowers.
Such situations can have a negative impact on their minds since they are not yet able to form independent
opinions. They are always influenced by external factors, which can sometimes be negative and sometimes
positive. It is well-established that conflict situations are closely connected with the science of psychology.

Introduction:

For primary school students to have

exemplary pedagogical activity, the following abilities

are required. You can review the types of abilities in the
table below.

Academic ability.

A primary school teacher must have a strong

command of their specialty subject and

consistently stay updated on various discoveries

within their field, as the teacher’s knowledge

significantly influences all students in the class.

In addition to their specialty subject, the teacher

should also have general knowledge of all

subjects. They must keep up with advancements,

innovations in science and technology, study

them, and never stop exploring and learning in

their profession.

The ability to be active in

organizational work.

A primary school teacher must possess the ability to

unite the class. The teacher’s ability to organize their

work effectively also falls under organizational skills.

Organizing work effectively involves planning

correctly, monitoring, and managing time efficiently

during the lesson process.

Ability to deliver quickly and

accurately.

A primary school teacher must be able to convey

subject assignments to students in an understandable

manner and, importantly, explain problematic or

conflicting topics using real-life examples. Each

lesson topic should be explained simply and clearly,

within the comprehension level of primary school

students.

Observability.

A primary school teacher must be able to connect with

the inner world of the student and pay attention to

observational skills related to understanding the

student’s personality and inner world.

Didactic ability

A primary school teacher must have the ability to

explain difficult and complex tasks in a way that is

simple, clear, and easy for primary school students

to understand. The teacher should adapt complex

knowledge and challenging concepts to the

student’s level, presenting them in an accessible

and understandable format. A teacher with well-

developed didactic abilities possesses professional

expertise and can deliver educational material

clearly and precisely, using real-life examples for

explanation. This contributes to increasing the

effectiveness of education and ensures the

student’s logical and independent thinking.

Mathematical ability

Primary school teachers must possess mathematical

knowledge. They should be able to correctly and

accurately comprehend problems of varying difficulty

and logical tasks, as well as reason effectively about

mathematical materials.

The ability to divide attention

A teacher must be able to focus on and manage

multiple aspects simultaneously. During the lesson,

the teacher should be capable of engaging students’

attention, monitoring both active and inattentive

students, addressing instances where students struggle

to understand the topic, and, in addition, paying

attention to their own personal and professional

qualities such as gestures, posture, speech, and tone of

voice.

Penetrability

A primary school teacher must possess pedagogical

tact

and

the

ability

to

establish

effective

communication and interaction. They should build

proper and sincere relationships with students from a

pedagogical perspective, connect with children, and

consider

their

individual

and

psychological

characteristics with attentiveness. Pedagogical tact is

a crucial factor for primary school teachers. A lack of

pedagogical tact can lead to negative consequences.

When forming a positive opinion about a teacher,

students often first evaluate their sense of fairness.

Therefore, it is essential for a teacher to be just and

fair.

Primary school teachers must develop all types of
abilities. It is unlikely that a teacher will develop all
abilities in a short period, as these abilities gradually
develop over many years. A skilled teacher should be
able to overcome various conflicting and problematic
situations in their work through pedagogical abilities. It
is only when a person faces an unexpected situation or
problem that they can identify their capabilities. We
can call a teacher with well-developed and
continuously evolving pedagogical abilities a "skilled
teacher." This is because a skilled teacher never stops
developing and growing, and as their experience and
qualifications increase, they become more refined. All
of the qualities mentioned above should be possessed
by primary school teachers.

In the teaching process, to avoid conflicts, the teacher
must also pay attention to the age and individual
characteristics of the students. By considering the
character and behavior of each student, the teacher

can ensure that no conflicts arise between the teacher
and students.

In educational literature, the issue of conflict in primary
education and its resolution is considered highly
relevant.

A conflict is a situation of contradiction between two or
more individuals who have different interests or
desires.

It is well-known that the concepts of "conflict" and
"conflict situation" exist, and the teacher's main task is
to distinguish between these two concepts.

A conflict situation refers to a clash or disagreement
between two individuals. Through my research, it
became clear that all conflicts revolve around two main
issues: resources and control over them.

Currently, three types of conflicts are highlighted in
pedagogy:

internal

personal

This type of conflict is one that a person always encounters. Sometimes, a

person may feel as if they are seeing themselves in a mirror when observing

others. In psychology, this is called reflection. The essence of reflection is

seeing oneself through individuals who resemble oneself. This type of conflict

rarely occurs among primary school students.

interpersonal

Nizon The second type of conflict is quite common. It is difficult to provide

a clear definition of this type of conflict. It occurs between individuals

whose personalities do not align with each other. Interpersonal conflicts can

take many forms. For example:

Conflict due to grades: A teacher gives a low grade to one student while

their friend receives a higher grade. This situation can lead to a conflict

between the two students.

Conflict due to similar school supplies: Let's say two students have identical

pens or school tools. They mistakenly take each other's supplies, which

creates a conflict. This type of conflict often occurs in first-grade students

because they all have the same pens and bags provided by the school.

Conflict due to quick responses: This type of conflict also occurs frequently

among primary school students. A teacher asks two students the same

question, saying, "Who can answer first?" One student quickly responds, but

the second student protests, saying, "I was going to say that!" This

disagreement can lead to a conflict.

The second type of conflict, which develops over the years, occurs between

individuals who, throughout their lives, pursue opposing goals or purposes.

This type of conflict rarely arises among primary school students.

This type of conflict is also quite common among primary school students

and can manifest in two different forms:

Conflict between students from parallel classes: This type occurs between

groups that have different goals and intentions, and these groups often

hinder each other's progress. In the minds of primary school students, those

from parallel classes are considered their "enemies." They compete against

each other in various contests and events, which leads to ongoing conflicts

between them.

Conflict within a group: In this type, students form "sub-groups" within the

class. These groups are often formed based on similar personality traits or

academic abilities. For example, the top-performing students form one

group, while those who struggle academically form another.

Pedagogical processes are complex and involve
continuous interactions between individuals. It is
important to note that one of the situations observed
in this process is when the relationship between two
individuals deteriorates.

A pedagogical conflict is a situation where, due to the

worsening of relationships between individuals with
different personalities and perspectives, a conflict
arises.

There are several forms of pedagogical conflicts,
including:

In primary education, successfully resolving conflicts
typically involves a system that includes identifying the
problem, analyzing it, taking actions to resolve it, and
evaluating the results. Before developing a policy to
address conflicts in any specific situation, it is essential
to identify their sources.
