Abstract
The study investigated the emotional intelligence and brainwriting creativity skill training programmes act as strategies for enhancing peacebuilding skills among secondary students in Ogun East Senatorial District of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a 3 x 2 pre-test, post-test, factorial matrix model to investigate the effects of emotional intelligence and brainwriting creativity training on peace-building skills of participants. There are three rows consisting of two treatment strategies of emotional intelligence, creativity training and the control. There are also two columns consisting of gender delineation and control group. The study participants were two hundred and sixteen (216) Senior Secondary students randomly selected from 2 chosen public secondary schools in Ogun East Senatorial District of Ogun State. One standardized instrument was used in collecting data while analysis of covariance and t-test statistical methods were used to analyze the generated data. The results revealed that participants in the treatment groups demonstrated enhanced capacity in peacebuilding than their counterparts in the control group. Also, there was no significant two-way interaction effect of treatment and gender on students’ peacebuilding skills. Based on the findings, this study, therefore, stress the need for schools, corporate organisations, government institutions, especially policy makers to include creativity and emotional learning contents in the curriculum of our educational system in order to achieve purposeful education and development. The teaching and learning of creativity, emotional and peacebuilding skills should be encouraged as early as elementary school stage and be seen as a developmental programme though all phases of education and up to work life.
