Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the ways primary education administrators solve events of violence as a problem. To this end, sample cases of violence were derived from the school violence news appearing on media organs in the last four years. They were categorized based on the type of violence. Method: Data were collected via a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher and administered to school administrators. In-depth data were collected in regard to the ways they would solve problems. The content formed by the obtained data was evaluated via systematic, descriptive analysis. Results: To determine the problem of violence in school, school administrators mostly turn to teachers’ and students’ views and video-recording and sound-recording. To solve the problems, on the other hand, they resort to family/parent training and implement what is prescribed in the legislation. The administrators did not express any opinion about predetermined possible solutions.

Summary
In today’s world, violence is an important social problem. Violence in school and in the vicinity of school has become widespread recently. Violence in school, which is one of the important institutions of social life, is not something new, but its frequency and scope grow every passing day. In this regard, more and more research is conducted to determine reasons for violence and prevent and reduce it (Council of Europe, 2002; Dönmez, 2010; Eisenbraun, 2007; Furlong and Morrison, 2000; The Republic of Turkey Ministry of National Education [MoNE], 2007; Kızmaz, 2006; Noguera, 1995; Öğülmüş, 2006; The Grand National Assembly of Turkey [GNAT], 2007). School violence, which is a part of general violence in the society, has become one of the frequently encountered problems in education. The solution-related views and behaviors of schools and school administrators that are mostly considered to be directly associated with events of violence play a key role in the solution of problems of violence
