2 Research Context, Methodology and Data Collection

2.1 The Context

Much valuable class learning time can be expended in dealing with conflict issues that have occurred in the playground. The ‘Friends in Conflict Sort it Together’ (FICSIT) program was designed as an action research project to try and address this challenge. A mixed method research study was implemented using a quantitative rubric (Figs. 1 and 2) to measure a students’ initial and subsequent understanding of conflict scenarios, and qualitative standardized open-ended questions for each phase of the program requiring students’ verbal and written reflections in their ‘FICSIT Journals’ (Johnson and Christensen 2012). Both methods were selected to provide a more comprehensive overall picture of student engagement with the program, rather than only a quantitative or qualitative response.
