INTRODUCTION
1. The importance of the topic
1.1. The cooperation is one of the essential values of human life in the age of
knowledge and integration today. Therefore, for the education of the 21st century, the
Unesco aims to: "Learn to learn, learn to do, learn to live together, learn to assert
yourself." People need to know how to resolve conflicting issues peacefully and to
respect differences ... in order to live together. Therefore, the Party and the State attach
special importance to educating the young generation to meet the social requirements in
the new conditions. In addition to focusing on knowledge and ethical qualities, attention
should be paid to educating the sense of cooperation, creating together contributions to
the community and society.
1.2. The goal of preschool education is not only towards comprehensive
education in all fields, arousing fundamental psychophysiological functions but also
focusing on age-appropriate social skills. Therefore, in addition to the knowledge
provided every day, children need to be proactive, independent, especially the ability
to coordinate and collaborate with others to increase performance. Formation and
development of cooperation skills will help children gradually become more
confident, better communicate and coordinate with people. Children will recognize
the values of "Cooperation"; the effort, the responsibility together, the binding on the
discipline or the emotions when enjoying the results, etc. will make cooperation
activities always a fascinating experience.
1.3. In the experiment, preschools are interested in social skills education in
general and cooperation skills in particular for children. However, the effectiveness
of group activities is low, especially 4-5 years old children because the children do
not know how to cooperate to perform common tasks. One of the reasons for this
situation is that teachers do not know how to instruct, organize education of
cooperation skills for the children, and do not create opportunities for the children to
experiment the cooperation skills with specific tasks being appropriate to the ability
of 4-5 years old children in the attractive and diverse activities in preschool.
1.4. Cooperation skills are a relatively complex and necessary psychological
activity chain for children at an early age. By the age of 4, the children have a lot of
basic and necessary expression which is favorable for education of cooperation skills
for them, they are: rapid growth of brain, nervous system, behavioral development
hierarchy, etc., helping the children to plan activities; the children are conscious,
responsible for tasks of playing, need to play with team becomes urgent and promotes
the formation of "Child Society" ....
Based on the above reasons, the topic of "Education of cooperation skills for 4-
5 years old children in preschool" is selected and studied.

children practice and actively use cooperation skills in daily activities, their
cooperation skills will be better..
