Learning to cooperate is not only essential to learning, but also to work and live. Currently the world regard "learn to cooperate" as an important content in the education sector, But how to stimulate students’ cooperative motivation and cultivate students’ ability to cooperate is the new problems in education. Project based learning (PBL) is a new teaching mode, primary and secondary schools in foreign countries has been widely applied, many researches shows that it can facilitate the students cooperation. But whether it is suitable for our country, how is the effect, it is worth exploring. Therefore, this paper is based on the curriculum of IT in the high school as the object of study, I want to explore whether the PBL can promote students’ effective cooperation in high school teaching through the methods of classroom observation, questionnaires and so on.This paper first expatiates on the basic theory of the PBL and cooperation. Then the application status of PBL in high school teaching is analyzed, I modify and improve the learning teaching plan based on the old PBL, also design a teaching plan, it is implemented in the new curriculum teaching, and I also have the careful records. Finally, through summary and analysis the cooperation of students to team project cooperation record, students cooperation record, submit work, feedback questionnaire data and so on, I have obtained the following conclusions:First, project based learning (PBL) is an effective teaching model to facilitate the students’ cooperation.The study found, the students’ cooperative consciousness and ability are improved, Specific performance in the following areas:cooperative attitude, Most of the crew can complete the tasks assigned by team leader, and their initiative, participating enthusiasm have been greatly improved. Cooperative ability, Most members can cooperate with each other, respect other people’s work, to share the results of the project, and I also found that students’ability to solve problems, communicate ability, cooperative ability are enhanced. Cooperative learning outcomes, the students’ ability of information technology and the quality of learning outcomes have gradually improved. Cooperative atmosphere, project based learning creates an open, relaxed environment for students, group members are easily active in this environment, form a good atmosphere of cooperation. Second, the emergence and development of students’ cooperation behavior in PBL is influenced by many factors.Project based learning is a long-term process, it is about an entire semester, the key to its success is a few points:Project design should not only focus on the teaching objectives and teaching content, but also can cooperate motivating students at the same time should pay attention to moderate difficulty. The beginning of cooperation should deepen students’ understanding of PBL, and can be enable to have a clearer idea in the completion of project tasks, cohesion among project tasks to arrange appropriate. Teacher’s guidance, coordination, timely urge and encourage are also important for the team cooperation development. The teacher may carry on training and guidance is not regularly on small group leader to have the skills, teachers should make policy guidance for students at the beginning of cooperation, to cultivate students’ ability of expression, and proposed the question, cooperate to complete the task etc. It is necessary to establish multiple evaluation criteria corresponding to real-time evaluation, teachers, students involved evaluation to stimulate and maintain student cooperation enthusiasm.Third, the application of PBL in the high school IT curriculum teaching not only can promote students’ cooperation, but also can affect the students learning.The study on the implementation of project based learning in high school teaching, the members of the group have a clear division of labor, the discipline concept and principle as the center subject knowledge into specific project tasks, to learn to find the problem, find a solution to the problem and then by the strength of the team and the teacher’s guidance, the results show that students’ learning effect is better, this mode of teaching to improve the teaching quality, the beginning of high school information technology teacher is worth reference.
