Conflict Management Training for Elementary School Principals to Create a Harmonious Learning Environment

Abstract

Conflict Management Training for Elementary School Principals aims to improve the principal's ability to manage conflicts that arise in the school environment in order to create a harmonious and conducive learning atmosphere. This program is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the basic concepts of conflict management, conflict resolution strategies, as well as the application of effective communication techniques in solving problems in the educational environment. Training implementation methods include interactive lectures, group discussions, conflict case simulations, and field practice assistance. The training participants are elementary school principals from various regions with diverse problem backgrounds. This activity was carried out over three intensive days with a participatory approach that encouraged active involvement of participants in each session. The results of the training showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of conflict management, their ability to analyze the causes of conflict, and the application of effective resolution strategies. In addition, participants also reported increased confidence in dealing with conflict situations and their ability to create a more harmonious work atmosphere at school. The conclusion from this service activity is that conflict management training can be a strategic step in supporting elementary school principals to create a conducive and productive learning environment. This program is recommended to be implemented on an ongoing basis with adjustments to the specific needs of each school.
