In the process of our social development, most of our activity is cooperative. From the perspective that education is to cultivate social needed people who are all-round developed, the cultivation of students' cooperation consciousness and ability is very important. From the present situation of higher education in our country, we find that most students lack of cooperation consciousness and ability,and they don't cooperate,don't know how to cooperate and be unwilling to cooperate,hold a negative attitude, and be suspected of cooperative learning.The main purpose of this research is to design the peer coaching model to improve university students' cooperative learning ability, learning from the experience of home and abroad, and based on the humanistic learning theory, behavioral learning theory, social learning theory, and cognitive delicate theory.

Then we processed and analyzed the data collected. By analyzing the questionnaires, record of peer coaching process, record of the interview with the students and with the teacher in each teaching unit, reflecting diaries, we studied the effectiveness of peer coaching on students'cooperation and learning.In chapter five, we summed up the conclusions and the guiding strategies for the peer coaching which can be referred to in future organization of cooperative learning.
