Managing Student Conflict Problems in Educational Institutions in Thai Society by Using the Principles of the Four Noble Truths

Abstract

This article states the conflict in educational institutions is one of the significant problems in Thai society, where differences or disagreements in perspectives, ideas, values, or interests may lead to tension or confrontation. Conflicts can arise at all levels of society, including within educational settings where students coexist, affecting the learning environment and the development of students. These conflicts occur in various areas, such as conflicts between students, conflicts between teachers and students, and conflicts between students and parents, leading to differences in opinions, lack of effective communication, and disrespect for others’ rights and freedoms. This article aims to apply the Four Noble Truths (Ariyasacca) to manage conflict issues in educational institutions by presenting and analyzing conflicts to highlight the nature of the conflict, the causes of the conflict, the resolution of the conflict’s causes, and the prevention of recurrence. The goal is to reduce the conflict problems in educational institutions through the application of principles of Dharma, ultimately promoting peace in society for the future.
