Gut streiten will gelernt sein!

A quarrel in class can wear down any lesson, no matter how good it may be. If the social balance in a class is disturbed, much energy is drawn from teaching and learning and invested in conflict containment. Often the view still prevails that good pupils and classes are those who argue little. An open and constructive view of student conflicts is helpful here. Arguing can be fruitful for group cohesion and pupils can emerge stronger from it. This book will help you to understand conflicts as learning causes and impulses for further development. Support your students in allowing quarrels, understanding them and dealing with them constructively.
