This chapter describes the Coleman Raider model, used to teach negotiation and mediation skills to adult learners.
By making explicit our teaching philosophy, course objectives, and methods, we hope to stimulate discussion and research about how conflict resolution is taught. Although there is an extensive theoretical and empirical literature on the nature of conflict and the processes of negotiation and mediation as applied in diplomacy, business, and labor relations, there is very little systematic research on the pedagogy of conflict resolution or on the models and methods used to teach these skills to adult or student learners (Raider, 1995; also see Chapter Thirty-Six).
We first share six pedagogical insights derived from our practice that have come to underpin our training design. Then we discuss the objectives of the course as a whole and the learning activities in each of our seven training modules. We follow with some recommendations for social science researchers and theorists. We conclude with a postscript to the original edition in which each of us talks about how we have expanded our practice with the tools and concepts outlined below as a foundation.
