The school is a social device whose function is to train subjects who are able to participate adequately in the dynamics of social life. However, these functions are impacted by a series of variables that affect them in all areas of their development: one of them is school conflict. The present communication reveals the research results in which the school conflict is addressed and playful-pedagogical devices -PPD- are implemented, as a way to intervene this reality. For this reason, it was formulated as an objective to implement from the Physical Education, Recreation and Sports playful-pedagogical devices aimed at the transformation and resolution of school coexistence conflicts in the fourth grade of the Institución Educativa San Clemente of Tierralta - Córdoba. In its internal structure, it follows the path of qualitative research, with a methodology focused on action-participation research -APR-. Moreover, different research techniques are addressed, ranging from interviews, discussion groups, documentation analysis, field diary, direct observation, among others. The results are valued from the voice of the students, teachers and parents who integrated the research, not as objects, but as subjects of it. In this inquiry, value is given to the reflection and self-reflection of the participating subjects, thus the theory is built and the intervention is validated. As results, a positive impact is presented in the interpersonal relationships of the students -valued from their reflections- and the adoption of the PPD as a model for the treatment of school conflicts in the educational institution.
