Abstract
Children resilience began to receive mounting attention in field of Psychology from the 1970s and is now an extensively studied topic. The concept can be applied to the field of Education, in support of a new educational paradigm and learning model -- cooperative learning -- advocated by education reformers for the past 40 years. By nurturing social aptitude and individual achievement, cooperative learning promotes resilience through both interpersonal and personal dimensions. The essay also points out some considerations for optimizing cooperative learning to fulfill its potential towards building benign resilience. Overall, cooperative learning is the ideal structure for cultivating resilience and merits further implementation.
