Classroom Conflict Mediation and Detection

Acquire the skills you need to understand relational flows in the classroom, intervene before conflicts emerge and become a highly effective professional"

This Postgraduate Diploma is a response to the demand for continued training among education professionals and is fundamentally aimed at kindergarten, elementary, secondary and post-compulsory education teachers.

It offers an integral vision of classroom conflict resolution as well as of successful approach models, and provides tools, experiences and advances in the area that have been approved by a specialized teaching faculty, all of them practising professionals. Each teacher will learn based on professional experience, as well as on evidence-based pedagogical methods, which will make students’ learning process more effective and specific.

The skills that a mediator possesses are the same skills that the teacher must cultivate, in order to serve as a vehicle between the student and the learning process. The teacher’s intention should be to encourage and facilitate this process, in order for students to achieve their objectives. Mediation in the educational system is an emerging element that strengthens communicative development and support systems among teachers and students, and which brings improved academic learning and balanced human growth by contemplating the relationships established in these environments.

The perspective of a modern educational paradigm must be inclusive, and also based on a biopsychosocial model that contemplates attention to diversity from a comprehensive approach which is aimed at the entire educational community. Teachers at all educational stages, as well as other professionals in both the educational and socio-health fields, need to know the characteristics of different students, how to identify their needs, and possess the knowledge and tools that will allow them to intervene at a personal, socio-familial and, above all, educational level.

With this program, teachers will acquire skills with which to manage classroom conflict and diversity in the educational context, and adjust attention to diversity and educational projects in their schools, while it will also enable them to create mediation plans for these centers.
