Sommario/riassunto

In this book, David and Roger Johnson offer an approach that involves interrelated programs for preventing violence and helping students learn to resolve conflicts constructively. The authors discuss how schools can create a cooperative learning environment where students learn how to negotiate and mediate peer conflicts and teachers use



academic controversies to enhance learning.
