Abstract

This is a quasi-experimental study involving 72 students with behavioural problems in Apolinario Mabini Elementary School, Division of Manila during the school year 2016–17. The study attempted to compare the Peer Mediation Method and Traditional Method in resolving misbehaviour of pupils. The Peer Mediation and Traditional Method are both effective in resolving pupil's behavioural problem. Peer Mediators deal with active participation to problem-solving tasks which results to a more responsible pupil. Peer Mediators develop better communication and leadership skills and improve academic performance. Parents of peer mediators can also expect a more loving and respectful child. As for the teachers, peer mediators can help them in resolving classroom disputes and tension between them and such pupils and can result in a better teacher pupil relationship. It can be implicit that the outcome of peer mediation method and traditional method will reduce pupils' with behavioural problems.
