dc.description.abstract | Conflict is a part and parcel of human organization
all over the world. Therefore, potential for confl
ict
exists because people have different needs, values,
views and goals. In schools, internal conflicts oc
cur
because sometimes administrators, teachers and stud
ents have different perceptions and attitudes
towards certain issues. The study examines how conf
lict management is used as a tool for restoring
discipline in Kenyan secondary schools and it is gu
ided by human needs theory. The study employed
mixed methods approach which embraced both quantita
tive and qualitative methods to collect data from
secondary students, headteachers and teacher counse
lors. This study has concluded that failure to trai
n
headteachers and teacher counselors on conflict res
olution; management skills and a lack of clear
communication among all the stakeholders constitute
some of the causes of conflict in secondary
schools. The study has recommended that conflict ma
nagement and peace keeping skills should be
incorporated into teacher education syllabuses. | en_US |
