On the other hand, being a part of a study group that requires you to compel yourself to attend after the class or during your rest days is one of the disadvantages of participating in such a group. The level of commitment displayed by each individual participant is an essential component of the study group. As a result, you and the other members of your group will need to forego participating in any other activities in order to study together.
And one more thing: if you and your other students are simply having a good time and forgetting about the material being studied during the study group, then that is another problem. It is the parents' responsibility to ensure that their children are studying in groups and are not having fun, giggling, or gossiping while doing their homework. A constant presence of parental guidance is required.
It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to sign up for a study group; there are some people who perform better academically when they work on their own. If you think that joining or making a group will help you learn more, then go ahead and take advantage of this fun way to learn.
I always prefer group studies :) It's good to be surrounded with friends din kasi as I review.. Pero may mga times na I'm more productive when I study alone..
ReplyDeletegroup study is a lot fun! You get ideas from others and share your opinions. =)
ReplyDeleteinteresting article
ReplyDeleteGone are those days na Sis. Sa mga group studies, may mga students na magulang na, madalas nangiiwan sa ere. My son has to deal with these fellow classmates of him. Madalas in a group of 6, apat lang ang maasahan.
ReplyDeleteI don't like study groups when I was in elementary, high school or college days.. now that I'm taking masters online, I'm loving our group study! :) times change!:)
ReplyDeleteGroup study session is very effective as sharing what you have learned is a good way to remember lessons.
ReplyDeleteStudyin alone or in group have their own advantages and disadvantages and I prefer both, for havin it solo so you can have a me time to focus, for group study sessions it could be better off if the subject is analytical and quantitative since you have all the minds to work together to get the easiest solution as possible!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless in your studies Kid.. more to go!
If I may quote "Commitment among each member is an important aspect of the study group. Hence you and your group mates have to set aside other activities to study together."
ReplyDeleteI've had study groups too back when I was still studying. But when I got into college, I only joined SG's that only had 2-3 people in it, particularly those who were in it to study. I was able to learn effectively in this manner when all of my study buddy's were committed and disciplined. :)
Group study is different from study group. There's a big difference. I know what you're talking about here is group study. Several students form a group and do some research, study and discuss about themselves what they've come into contact or found out based on their subject or project undertaken. This group study is suited for brainstorming.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have missed as a student. I was such a loner way back then (I still am, though). The only time I joined a group study was when we had to do our group thesis in college and it felt awkward for me.
ReplyDeleteThe kids in the photos look like they are really having fun :)
Gil Camporazo: Actually sir, this is a study group, not a group study. A study group is the bunch of friends doing their schoolwork and whatnot together. A group study is a study done on a group, whether literal, numerical, or data-based.
ReplyDeleteOn topic: I'm a lone wolf kind of student. I WORK fine in groups, but when studying for an exam back then? No way haha.
Perhaps group study is synonymous to the idea of having play dates? While working on my own is what I love, I likewise recognize the benefits of being in a group. It teaches you teamwork & discipline. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was still in school I prefer to be alone in library or wherever I feel like studying. I don't have anything against my classmates or my friends but its easier for me to focus if I'm alone. I only do group study if its required for us to be able to finish the project and submit it on time.
ReplyDeleteGroup study do make a pool of ideas for the students. It is a huge playground for the young minds too, to realize the importance of cooperation and sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have just given me an idea as I totally forgot about this option for my children. Maybe it's about time my son participate in group study.
ReplyDeleteWe used to do it back in college,especially during final exams and board exam reviews.It helps a lot than studying alone in the room.
ReplyDeleteMas magandan siguro kung mag aaral muna mag isa tapos next day group study para mag share ng mga kuro kuro.
ReplyDeleteI find this useful at times pero minsan it can also be distracting. Children who do group studies need to have focus lang for it to work.
ReplyDeleteI never had a chance to attend Group Study during my younger years since I belong to a class of nerds lol. But I did enjoy it during college days which is more of a group discussion as we could share about our own ideas and interpretation.
ReplyDeleteI always like group studies. kaso wala kaming naa-achieve! puro daldalan at harutan lng. lol :)
ReplyDeletei used to have group study with my classmates when i was in college, but my ultimate aim was to be with my crush who happened to be in the group.lol..Yahweh bless
ReplyDeleteHaving group studies are very helpful indeed. It's like brainstorming... he knows what the others don't know and vice-versa. They will able to come up with better solutions. Each member should cooperate and share whatever views or opinions he/she has in order to have smooth flow of interaction.
ReplyDeleteWell, there are different approaches to learning. I think that being alone is better than having a study group, based on my experience.. I don't know, maybe it's because of the people I've been with before, laro laro lang habang review..
ReplyDeletegroup study helps especially if you have previously studied and are already in the review stage :)
