THE ROLE OF COOPERATIVE PLAY IN DEVELOPING INTERPERSONAL ACTIVITY AMONG PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

Cooperative play plays a crucial role in the social and psychological development of preschool children. Through collaborative activities, children learn to communicate, cooperate, share responsibilities, and develop empathy toward others. This study examines the impact of cooperative play on the development of interpersonal activity among preschool children. The research involved observational analysis and statistical evaluation of children’s participation in cooperative games in preschool educational institutions. The results demonstrate that structured cooperative play significantly improves communication skills, teamwork, and emotional interaction among children. The findings emphasize the importance of play-based pedagogical strategies in early childhood education.
