| Nowadays, cooperation has become one of the essential ability for human beings. For students, cooperative learning as an important ability, receives more and more attention.

Classroom management is the most important part in classroom teaching. Effective management is especially important for Cooperative learning class, because the cooperative learning is based on students’mutual assistance, exchange, discussion-oriented teaching model, existing variable factors in class.The present study focuses on classroom management in cooperative learning of biological lessons in senior high schools.
