摘要：The aim of the empirical research is to determine primary school teachers’attitudes towards behaviour patterns in social conflict. A primary schoolteacher is the role model for his/her pupils, so in the context of the theoryof hidden curriculum, the purpose of the study is determining a betterunderstanding of teacher’s needs for further conflict resolution training. AScale of Attitudes toward social conflicts was applied to a stratified sampleof 155 teachers in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia, measuringthree patterns of behaviour: avoidance/adaptation, cooperation, and winning.According to the results, the teachers most frequently have positiveattitudes toward a pattern of cooperation, and most seldom towarda pattern of winning. Winning is negatively correlated with cooperation,and positively correlated with avoidance/adaptation. The authors recommendedsystematic social skills training necessary for managing conflictfor a specific group of teachers. The authors believe these findings couldraise interest and awareness for further studies in the field of conflict studiesin education.
