The effectiveness of a conflict resolution training program in an American, midwestern, middle school was examined. The participants were 198 students in Grades 6 through 9. A pretest-posttest control-group experimental design was used. Those in the experimental group received 14 hr of training during a 25-min homeroom period. Significant differences between experimental and control groups occurred in knowledge of the negotiation procedure and ability to apply it to actual conflicts.read more

Conflict Resolution and Peer Mediation Programs in Elementary and Secondary Schools: A Review of the Research
TL;DR: This article found that conflicts among students do occur frequently in schools (although the conflicts rarely result in serious injury), untrained students by and large use conflict strategies that create destructive outcomes by ignoring the importance of their ongoing relationships, and conflict resolution and peer mediation programs do seem to be effective in teaching students integrative negotiation and mediation procedures.
