El cuento, un medio para la resolución de conflictos

Abstract

This research project contemplates a didactic method through the literary tale as a strategy for conflict settlement in the classroom. The present research was developed in the educational field from the school context at I.E San Sebastián, in Curumaní, Cesar, where the difficulty that the students have to approach the conflict in a peaceful way has been evidenced. In this sense, the absence of skills for conflict settlement, the implementation of a didactic strategy named “my story is peace” is proposed, from the spectrum of the action research method and a set of activities developed through the literary tale reading, collected in field diaries in order to recognize the mechanisms to resolve conflicts peacefully. Finally, under the process of analyzing the information collected, the importance of the literary story was recognized as a pedagogical resource due to its ease of incorporating situations from the everyday world into the classroom and its usefulness when exploring problem-solving mechanisms; however, it is being forgotten.
