The instrument used for data collection was the aggression and Violence Questionnaire (AVQ). Data were analyzed using means and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Findings indicate that Cognitive Behavioural Intervention (CBI) positively affects aggression and violence, leading to a change in behaviours. It is recommended that Cognitive Behavioural Intervention (CBI) should be employed in all primary schools in Nigeria and the world as an Intervention and corrective mechanism to problem behaviours in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning in schools.
