After summarizing and analyzing the current situation of each country's research into this field, the definition of group cooperative learning is revealed.二 the basis of theory. The thesis concludes the following content: 1. Group co-operation and discussion can help students construct their cognition system actively, so group cooperative learning is guided by constructivism .2. In cooperative group the main status and emotion of students themselves will be highly stressed, which is in accordance with the idea of humanism.3.

According to the motivational theory,group members will encourage and help each other to achieve the success of group .5. After consultation and controvert, group's members may get inspiration from each other and a new "latest development zone "will be created, in which students' ability to solve problems will be greatly improved.6.
