Özet:

The purpose of this research is to examine how school managers, teachers, students and parents resolve conflicts that occur among students from the point of view of the teachers. The research is designed as a qualitative study. In order to study deeply with the limited number of teachers, a semi-structured interview was applied in this research. The research was carried out through interviews with 29 teachers who are selected depending upon the purposeful sampling subsumed under the nonprobability sampling techniques. The data which was gathered by means of the semi- structured interview was analysed with the qualitative data analysis techniques. The research results based on teachers' perspectives show that there are similarities among students', teachers', school managers' and parents' conflict resolution strategies which have the components of authority and external controls and they are related to psychological violence (reprimanding, anger, scaring, frightening, threatening), and physical violence (hitting, beating, quarrelling). At the end of this research, it is found that constructive and peaceful conflict resolution strategies such as making students solve their own conflicts, solving joint problems mutually, compromising and mediation are either not seen or seen very rarely.
