Conflicts in our life

, mathematic teacher

Purpose: Students should learn the essence of the concepts of "dispute", "conflict", "conflict situation", "incident", the rules for preventing conflicts; development of skills of moral self-knowledge, introspection and self-assessment.

For preparation: A culture of behavior in conflict - how to form it

Skills and communication skills are fundamental to successful human activity. Unfortunately, not enough attention is paid to their formation in the modern school. As a result, there is an increase in the number of interpersonal conflicts in the system "student-student", "student-teacher", "student-parents", an increase in their severity and aggravation of negative consequences.

According to a study we conducted in grades 9-11 of our school (the total number of respondents was), schoolchildren consider the following to be the main causes of interpersonal conflicts with classmates:

Lack of time for “quality” communication

Lack of any closeness with classmates

Inability to establish and maintain relationships with each other

Aggressiveness and rudeness on the part of classmates

In the course of the study, six levels of conflict among high school students were identified.

1. Elementary level of conflict characterized by the absence of any knowledge of the high school student about the conflict and ways of interaction in it. For a student, a conflict is a quarrel that gives rise to alienation, confrontation, and in many cases a complete break in relations and enmity between the parties to the conflict. The high school student does not consider it necessary to analyze the causes of the conflict and its consequences. The emotional state of the student is not always subject to him. It demonstrates an emphatically ironic attitude towards the opponent, does not show sympathy and empathy for him, and the depressed state of a classmate makes him feel satisfied. At the same time, the student does not differentiate the sphere of the conflict and the confrontation that has arisen in one sphere of relations transfers to the rest. By psychologically suppressing a partner, he lowers his social status. He is not able to reflect on his own actions, he lacks self-control and self-criticism. The student does not want and does not know how to overestimate his value system.

2. Formal level of conflict indicates that the high school student has some knowledge about the nature of the conflict, its types, possible causes and methods of resolution, but this knowledge is of a formal nature. The possibility of maintaining relations after the conflict seems to him unlikely. At the same time, the student feels the desire to be recognized and appreciated by others. His ability to reflect on his own actions is underdeveloped. The high school student contributes to the growth of the conflict, as he tries to involve other students in his orbit.

3. Conformal level of conflict assumes that the high school student has a system of knowledge about the nature of the conflict, its possible causes and ways of resolving it, but he does not put them into practice, consciously giving preference to unconditional concessions or compromise. The student does not try to critically comprehend the current situation in conflict interaction. Fear and self-doubt contribute to the development of conflict, causing a feeling of psychological discomfort. The student consciously refuses to choose an act based on inner conviction and avoids the risk associated with making decisions.

4. Neutrality level indicates that the high school student has a system of ideas about the nature of the conflict, its possible causes and ways of constructive resolution. However, this knowledge does not encourage him to positively resolve conflicts - he prefers neutrality. Being in a conflict interaction, he experiences self-doubt, fear and, as a result, a desire to get out of the conflict at all costs. The student passively accepts the norms of behavior imposed by others. He strives to achieve personal autonomy, even to the detriment of his own interests, and does not use the experience gained in the conflict.

5. Sufficient level of conflict typical for a high school student who has a holistic system of knowledge about the nature of the conflict, its dynamics, types, possible causes and effective ways to resolve it. He is aware of the need to be able to find and apply constructive ways conflict resolution. The student is distinguished by developed empathy, he is focused on establishing positive emotional connections. The student uses the available knowledge to predict, prevent and successfully resolve conflicts. Reflects the feelings and attitudes of the opponent, trying to prevent the escalation of tension and post-conflict confrontation. With a favorable resolution of the conflict, he experiences positive emotions and subsequently successfully uses the experience gained.

6. Optimal level of conflict is hallmark a high school student with a formed system of knowledge about the nature of the conflict, its dynamics, types, possible causes and effective ways of resolving. This knowledge allows the student not only to successfully resolve interpersonal conflicts and analyze their consequences, but also to prevent them. The student realizes the impossibility of a conflict-free existence and recognizes the importance of the ability to find best ways conflict resolution. He regards conflict as an opportunity for self-development and team development. Self-esteem and the ability to respect the opponent provide a favorable emotional state during a constructive conflict resolution. The student strives for civilized interaction in conflict. He creates and maintains an atmosphere of partnership by reflecting on the attitudes and feelings of the opponent. He becomes able to resist other people's influence, defend his own interests and, without humiliating his opponent, consciously avoid post-conflict confrontation.

When moving to the optimal level, a conflict competence which allows a person to prevent and constructively resolve conflicts in a timely manner in accordance with their own goals, values, orientations and specific social and communicative conditions. A high school student perceives conflict as an integral and natural part of people's lives, providing an opportunity for self-development and harmonization of interpersonal relationships.

Work on the formation of conflict competence of high school students can be carried out using various methods and forms of education, including conflict management trainings.

Game "Nut"

Tasks: Realize your own uniqueness and accept the uniqueness of each person.

The number of nuts must match the number of participants. Each participant takes one nut.

Exercise: within one minute you need to consider your nut and remember its features. Then all the nuts are mixed. After that, everyone tries to find their own among the nuts.

Discussion. What helped you find your nut? In a crowd, all people are the same, like nuts when they lay together. To see a person, you need to spend time looking at him. The value of a nut is judged by what it has inside. It can be ripe, green, rotten, empty, delicious. Similarly, a person cannot be judged only by appearance. After all, it’s not in vain that they say: “They meet according to clothes, see off according to the mind.” The nut has a very hard shell. It is needed to protect the tender core. Many people also often hide in a shell to feel safe. It takes time for them to open up.

The results of the test "Assessment of one's own behavior in conflict situation»

If you scored the most under the letters:

"A" is " tough type of conflict and dispute resolution” You stand your ground to the last, defending your position. By all means, you strive to win. This is the type of person who is always right.

"B" is " democratic" style. You are of the opinion that you can always agree. During a dispute, you are trying to offer an alternative, look for solutions that would satisfy both parties.

"AT" - " compromise" style. From the very beginning, you are ready to compromise.

"G" - " soft" style. You destroy your opponent with kindness. You willingly take the opponent's point of view, giving up your own.

"D" - " outgoing" style. Your motto is "leave on time". You try not to aggravate the situation, not to bring the conflict to an open clash.

I suggest that you analyze the test results yourself, correlate them with the self-assessment of your behavior. Is there anyone who wants to discuss their test results with classmates.

Conversation

I propose to discuss the following questions:

1. The words “dispute” and “conflict” were often used in the questionnaire. What are the similarities and differences between these concepts?

2. What is a conflict situation?

3. Have you ever been in a conflict situation?

4. What kind of people do you have the most conflicts with? Why?

5. What is the most common cause of conflict for you?

6. Is it possible to resolve the conflict without infringing on the rights and dignity of all people involved in the conflict?

7. Have you witnessed such a successful conflict resolution?

8. What prevents you or others from resolving conflicts to the benefit of both parties?

The test result "The level of personality conflict"

A certain amount of points characterizes the level of personality conflict:

14-17 points - very low

18 -20 points - low

21-23 points - below average

24-26 points - closer to the average

27-29 points - average

30-32 points - closer to average

33-35 points - above average

36-38 points - high

39-42 points - very high

I suggest that you correlate the test results with your self-assessment of your level of conflict, think about what reasons most often give rise to conflicts between people.

Applications Information block

DISPUTE- This is a verbal contest, a discussion of something in which everyone defends his opinion. This is a conflict where there is a contradiction in opinions and points of view. In life, contradictions between people arise more due to the fact that all people are different.

CONTRADICTIONS are the disagreements:

· Motives, needs, value orientations of people;

· Attitudes, beliefs;

· Understanding, interpreting information;

· Expectations and attitudes;

· Assessments and self-assessments;

Knowledge, skills, abilities;

Emotional and mental states;

· Goals, means, methods, ways to achieve goals, implementation of activities.

Since contradictions always exist, one must understand that conflicts will arise constantly, one just needs to learn how to resolve conflicts. First of all, you need to know what conflict is.

CONFLICT is the process of a sharp aggravation of the contradiction and the struggle of two or more parties in solving a problem of personal significance for each of the participants. For a conflict to arise, a number of factors are necessary: ​​the presence of a problem (contradiction), a conflict situation, participants in the conflict and the incident.

CONFLICT SITUATION - this is a situation of hidden or explicit confrontation of the parties.

INCIDENT - this is an action or a set of actions of the participants in the conflict, provoking a sharp aggravation of the contradiction and the beginning of a struggle between them. Conflicts are different - family, business, production, political, etc. But you need to remember that conflicts between people can be

CONSTRUCTION, aimed at developing relationships, carrying out activities, and

DESTRUCTIVE, when they are aimed at satisfying personal ambitions, claims, self-affirmation of a person at the expense of other people, squabbles, slander, envy, shirking duties, etc. Not only destructive, but also empty conflicts should be avoided, when irritation or painful a person's condition makes him intolerant of other people.

Exist rules of conduct for conflict people, the implementation of which helps not to provoke conflicts:

Do not seek to dominate, by all means.

· Be principled, but do not fight for the sake of principle.

· Remember that straightness is good, but not always.

Criticize, but don't criticize.

Smile more often

· Traditions are good, but up to a certain limit.

In everything you need to know the measure.

You also need to be able to tell the truth!

· Be independent, but not arrogant.

Do not turn persistence into importunity.

· Be fair and tolerant of people. Do not overestimate your abilities and possibilities and do not belittle the abilities and possibilities of others.

· Do not show initiative where it is not needed.

· Realize yourself in creativity, not in conflicts.

· Be patient, master the skills of self-regulation.

Exercise "Forecast"

Target: development of awareness of personal responsibility for the outcome of the conflict.

During this exercise

Situation:

1. You are hopelessly late and try to get on the transport, but it is not easy to do so. People are annoyed, they do not understand your desire to jump on the bus at any cost.

2. They try to convince you in the store that the thing that you really want to buy for yourself does not suit you at all. You show disagreement with the opinion of the sellers.

3. Parents do not like the circle of your communication in which you spend all your free time. You are trying to explain that the people you associate with have the right to be your friends.

4. Your grandparents try to help you in life by generously sharing their life experiences, but it annoys you, although you love your family very much.

Analyzing the tactics of behavior in a conflict and the consequences of their use, students realize the need for cooperation, an active search for various solutions to a given situation, the inadmissibility of "avoiding" the conflict or "suppressing" their opponent.

Exercise "House"

Schoolchildren are invited to pull out a piece of paper with the name of their classmate or classmate and within a few minutes try to remember everything that this person has ever done, talked about himself, how he distinguished himself. Then, using brushes, paints and paper, it is necessary to draw a house, which, from the point of view of the “artist”, would be the ideal home for this student.

After completing the work, high school students give each other their drawings and explain why they would settle a classmate in such a house. The person to whom the gift was intended must say whether he is satisfied with his "housing" or not, and explain why. Analyzing each other's drawings, high school students get the opportunity to realize how others see them, and based on this information, adjust their behavior, communication style, etc.

Raising a person who is different high level a culture of behavior in a conflict that is able to see an ally in the opponent in resolving a difficult interpersonal situation and apply constructive interaction tactics in resolving disagreements. It is an important task of the modern school. By creating favorable conditions for the formation in students of such qualities as benevolence, respect for others, responsibility and the need for self-improvement, the school ensures the stability and moral well-being of society.

Class hour on the culture of communication, Grade 9

Methodical development abstract class hour

for 9 D class class. hands Korganbaeva A.S.

Topic: "Know how to communicate with everyone and always" (situational workshop on the culture of communication)

Goals:

development of a culture of communication and communication skills of schoolchildren;

instilling ethical norms of conflict-free communication with younger children, peers and adults.

Situation 1. “Can you manage conflict?”

Rules to follow in a conversation:

- it is necessary to conduct a conversation in a polite and even voice;

- there must be a desire to talk;

- you should look into the eyes of the interlocutor;

- no need to interrupt or interrupt the interlocutor;

- do not get carried away with gestures;

- you should not unnecessarily complicate your speech using foreign words or scientific terms;

- try to speak clearly, slowly, do not mutter or swallow the endings of words;

- intonation should not be offensive or offensive to a person.

1. You need to know how the conflict develops:

- the occurrence of disagreements; increasing tension in relationships;

- awareness of the situation as a conflict by at least one of its participants;

- proper conflict interaction, the use of various interpersonal styles of conflict resolution, accompanied by an increase or decrease in emotional tension;

- outcome (resolution) of the conflict. The resolution of the conflict is the elimination of the problem that gave rise to the conflict situation, and the restoration of normal relations between people.

2. Finding out the hidden and obvious causes of the conflict, determining what really is the subject of disagreement, claims. Sometimes the participants themselves cannot or do not dare to clearly articulate main reason conflict.

3. Defining the problem in terms of goals, not solutions. It is necessary to analyze not only the various positions, but also the interests behind them.

4. Focus on interests, not positions. Our position is what we declare, what we insist on, our decision model. Our interests are what motivated us to accept this decision. Interests are our desires and concerns. They are the key to solving the problem.

5. Make a distinction between the participants in the conflict and the problems that have arisen. Put yourself in the place of your opponent. Be hard on the problem and soft on the people.

6. Fairly and impartially treat the initiator of the conflict. Do not forget that behind dissatisfaction and claims, as a rule, there is a problem that burdens a person, gives him anxiety and inconvenience.

7. Do not expand the subject of the conflict, try to reduce the number of claims. It is not possible to solve all problems at once.

8. Stick to the rule of emotional restraint. Be aware of and control your feelings. Consider the condition and individual characteristics participants in the conflict. This prevents the development of realistic conflicts into unrealistic ones. When discussing a conflict, it is important to avoid the following serious mistakes:

- the partner puts forward his own mistake as a mistake of the other;

- partner's behavior is dictated solely by tactical considerations;

- the partner hides behind "production necessity";

- the partner insists on the recognition of his authority;

- the most vulnerable places of the partner are used;

- old grievances are recalled;

- in the end, a winner and a loser are revealed.

Possible and other mistakes made by interlocutors:

- attention diversion: anything that acts unusual or annoying can distract attention. For example, the appearance of the speaker, his voice or pronunciation;

- high speed mental activity. We think four times faster than we speak. Therefore, when someone speaks, our brain is free most of the time and is distracted from the speaker's speech;

- antipathy to other people's thoughts. We value our thoughts more, it is more pleasant and easier for us to follow these thoughts than to force ourselves to follow what another says;

- selectivity of attention. From childhood, we are accustomed to listening to a lot at the same time, without paying the utmost attention to everything. Trying to listen carefully to everything would be overwhelming. In self-defence, we learn to alternately choose what is of interest now. This habit of switching makes it difficult to fix attention on one thing;

- replica need. The words of another may cause us to respond. If this happens, then we no longer listen to what they tell us. Thoughts are busy formulating "crushing" arguments and comments.

Exercise 1. Do you agree with all the "rules"?

Task 2 . Have you ever had to apply some of the “rules” given in the text in any life situation?

Situation 2. "What is tact?"

First of all, tact is understood as a sense of proportion, the ability to navigate in certain circumstances. How to proceed at the moment? What should be said and what should be kept silent? Stay in the room or go out? To pretend not to notice the unsuccessful remark, or to turn it into a joke?

Tact is sensitivity, modesty in behavior, the result of upbringing, it is based on respect for others, respect for the opinions of others, care for relatives, friends, colleagues.

It is considered tactless:

- draw attention to yourself in public places (in a museum, theater, library, etc.) with your behavior;

- speak in public place about personal affairs of one's own or close ones (friends, relatives, etc.);

- impose their tastes and ideas.

Task: Supplement with your sentences the concept of "tactless is considered ...".

Situation 3. "How to get a person to accept your point of view?"

Persuading a person of anything does not mean arguing with him: the only way to win an argument is to avoid it. Misunderstandings cannot be cleared up by argument, they can only be cleared up with tact, a desire for reconciliation, and a sincere desire to understand the other's point of view.

Respect the opinions of other people, never tell a person sharply that he is wrong, especially in public. In such circumstances, it is difficult for a person to agree with you.

If a person expresses some thought, and you are sure that it is false, it is better to turn to him with the words: “I can be wrong. Let's get into the facts." This will force the interlocutor to be just as fair, force him to admit that he can also be wrong.

If you are wrong, admit it quickly and decisively. It is much easier to admit your mistakes or shortcomings yourself than to listen to condemnation from another person. If you know that the other person thinks or wants to say something negative about you, say it yourself, before, this will disarm him.

Don't start important conversations by asking you to say "yes" or "no." If a person has said no, his principles require him to remain consistent to the end. Later, he may feel that "no" was wrong, but you yourself cut off his escape route. Therefore, it is very important to lead the conversation in such a way that the interlocutor does not have the need and opportunity to say “no”.

If you want to convince people of something, try to look at things through the eyes of these people. You will save a lot of time and save your nerves.

Exercise 1. Do you agree with these rules?

Task 2. Do you think these rules always “work”?

Situation 4. “Will the above recommendations help you speed up the conflict resolution process?”

During negotiations, priority should be given to discussing substantive issues.

The parties should strive to relieve psychological and social tension.

The parties must demonstrate mutual respect.

Negotiators should strive to turn the hidden part of the conflict situation into an open one, publicly and convincingly revealing each other's positions and deliberately creating an atmosphere of public, equal exchange of views.

All negotiators must be willing to compromise. Of particular importance is the final, post-conflict stage. At this stage, efforts should be made to finally eliminate conflicts of interests, goals, attitudes, social and psychological tension should be eliminated, and any struggle should be stopped.

Exercise Q: Do you agree with these recommendations?

Situation 5. “How should you greet a meeting acquaintance?”

Exercise:

1. What ways of greeting do you know?

2. Is the greeting among young people different from the greeting of adults?

3. You choose this method greetings with acquaintances only on the basis of age or personal qualities this person?

4. Take note of the information below.

"Why do people shake hands?"

There are many other ways to greet each other. In movies, you've probably seen how courtiers bow, well-bred girls and ladies curtsy, and gentlemen raise their hats when they meet.

More exotic forms of greeting are also known: among some nations, for example, when meeting, it was customary to ... rub noses or even perform a special dance. However, the handshake alone survived all times and became widespread. It happened because it is the most peaceful, most friendly gesture, understandable to everyone.

Stretching out an open palm, a person, as it were, showed the other that he had no weapon, that his intentions were pure. And if these intentions were not rejected, exactly the same reciprocal gesture followed. And shaking hands, people were convinced that there really was no weapon hidden in the hand of the other. Therefore, it is customary to remove the glove before shaking hands - the palm should be open.

From very ancient times, a persistent prejudice has come down to us: you can’t shake hands across the threshold. Its meaning is this - at home a person is reliably protected by walls, and dangers and the unknown lurk beyond the threshold. So if someone comes to the house, let him first go inside, into the light, where you can clearly see the visitor and recognize the threat in time, if there is one. And if not, exchange a firm handshake.
