Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Skillstreaming lessons on the amount of conflict recorded by middle school students. The measurement tool used was a data collection sheet where the students recorded the number of conflicts encountered for a total of four weeks, two weeks before and after the Skillstreaming lessons. This study was pre-experimental using a one group pretest posttest design. There was no significant difference between the mean number of conflicts per student before Skillstreaming and after Skillstreaming. Although there is significant research in this area, it should be extended understanding that conflict is ever-changing.
