Summary/Abstract: The importance of successful communication among students is a possible condition for better student achievement. Therefore, students' ability to resolve disputes is an important factor in improving their communication. This paper provides an overview of research findings on students' ability to resolve disputes, as well as ways to resolve them. 399 students participated in the research, of which 148 (37.1%) students and 251 (62.9%) students. No significant differences were found in the perception of one's own ability to resolve conflicts / disputes with regard to gender and the school that students attend. According to the results of the research, the participants attach importance to expressing their own opinion, respecting other people's opinion, but also presenting arguments to defend their own opinion. Students are rated the most capable of accepting a common solution to a conflict or dispute, and the least capable are rated to adjust their own opinion about the conflict or dispute. The student's ability to resolve a dispute should be another of his essential competencies. It is the obligation of schools to design and organize workshops for students in strengthening the abovementioned competence as part of extracurricular activities.
