This research method consists of several steps, namely research design, subject research, data collection instruments and data analysis. Based on the results of research and discussions that have been carried out, data conclusions were obtained about students' initial ability to resolve conflicts that often occur in grade 5 at the elementary school level, namely from 4 schools categorized in the group of students' initial ability to resolve conflicts still need to be improved because the achievement is relatively low. Data were produced on the needs analysis study of conflict learning models with children's conflict cartoon expression card media based on questionnaires and the results of interviews stated that there was no specific model or strategy in order to learn about conflicts and how to handle them. In the end, it is stated by teachers and students that a special model based on conflict handling is needed.
