"Säg förlåt nu, det är dags för lektion!" : En vetenskaplig essä om barns delaktighet i sin egen konflikthantering

Sammanfattning: ”Say sorry now, it’s time for class” is a scientific essay written with the purpose of investigating to what degree we allow the pupils to take part in the process of solving conflicts. Do we let the pupil’s own thoughts, feelings and ideas be a part of the solution when solving conflicts or do we as teachers take over in these situations? The essay starts with a story portraying situation which is difficult to interpret that I have experienced in my profession in the afterschool care. The story depicts how teachers speak to pupils in different situations and how we talk to them when they are upset. The dilemmas I experienced in these situations are what brought me to this scientific essay. The method used in the scientific essay is writing with a hermeneutic approach, this means that I will focus on my own experiences and thoughts. I will reference literature and theories thereby deepening my reflections in order to learn from my own actions and evolve in my role as extended school teacher. Ross Greene’s theory of CPS (collaborative & proactive solutions) is the most prominent theory in this essay.
