Evaluation Of The Roles Of Guidance Counselors In Conflict Management Among Students
This study evaluates the roles of guidance counselors and teachers in managing student conflicts in Ikwo Local Government, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Through a comprehensive analysis involving ANOVA, contingency tables, and regression analyses, the research investigates the effectiveness of these educational professionals in resolving conflicts and the challenges they encounter. The findings reveal that guidance counselors and teachers significantly contribute to conflict resolution, with counselors being particularly effective when strategies are tailored to different student groups, and teachers’ involvement positively influencing student behavior. Key challenges identified include time constraints for counselors, inadequate training for both counselors and teachers, confidentiality issues, and the need for enhanced administrative support. The study concludes with recommendations for improving conflict management practices, such as allocating more time for counselors, providing ongoing professional development, developing robust confidentiality protocols, and fostering better collaboration between counselors and teachers. These measures aim to create a more supportive and effective conflict resolution environment, contributing to a positive school climate and better student outcomes.
