Contemporary Dialogue

Abstract

Conflicts form a part of life today in different situations such as society, education and the workplace. In an educational setup, the educator’s prime objective is to ensure a peaceful learning environment for the learners. However, the rising conflicts in educational settings in the past few decades have made this objective increasingly challenging. This study, therefore, delves into the importance of conflict resolution in the educational environment, including the key objectives in terms of conflict resolution in educational settings, its challenges, best practices, strategies, and innovations. As addressed throughout this study, conflicts can be seen in different environments, such as classroom-level, digital, systemic, inclusivity-related, and higher-education challenges. The findings of the study revealed that Conflict Resolution Education (CRE) and Life skills become essential for educators, administrators, researchers, and policymakers to take one step towards understanding and finding solutions to these different concerns for more peaceful and balanced living.
