The cooperative game as a pedagogical resource

By Juan Carlos Hernandez R and Hugo L Reina R

Nowadays, it is observed that the values of yesteryear such as solidarity, tolerance, sense of neighborliness, respect, community work, in short, the social integration that was the basis of the welfare of our community has been replaced by individualism, selfishness and extreme competitiveness typical of a fierce capitalism, of an imposed globalization. Education does not seem to escape this voracious onslaught, that is why it was decided to introduce cooperative games giving a twist of competitiveness and reward individual skills present in most sports to a comprehensive training, with pro-social skills, tolerance, solidarity, collaboration ... also necessary to be fruitful in society, live in it and continue to assimilate the situations in the best way throughout life. The research is based on the observation of whether these cooperative games can transcend in the interpersonal relationships of children, their school and social coexistence. It is only the entrance door for those who wish to expand, enrich and, why not, put this pedagogical resource into practice.
