Individual learning vs. group learning
We as human beings have different qualities, strengths, and weaknesses. Same
goes for studying. Every individual has a different way of studying, where one
finds it easier to understand and comprehend the matter he/she is studying in
his or her own way of learning. However, methods of studying can be classified
into two major categories, namely, individual studying, and group studying.
Some people prefer group studying, because for them group studying provides
them with diverse information, that is to say, that each member in the group
participates and is able to provide different information on one subject.
Another reason is that if any member finds difficulty in the subject, he/she can
easily discuss the problem with other group members, who will be most ready
to help each other. Then there is also the aspect of division of work. For
example, if students are given an assignment to complete, and if each person in
a group is responsible for a different topic, then the load of work is divided
among the members of the group and will eventually not burden any one
person. On the contrary, many students prefer studying alone, mainly because
they want to do their work on their own. Doing so really helps them, because
they alone are responsible for what they are studying, and therefore are
responsible for their own grades, this evolves a sense of responsibility in the
student. Also, since there is no one to share their work with, they have to do all
their work on their own, which again is an advantage. For example, a student
who studies alone, when given an assignment, does it entirely by
himself/herself. Doing so, each and every topic is familiar to the student and
the entire work is a product of his/her own effort. So, if he/she gets a grade on
such an assignment, the student would know what his potentials, what his
strengths and weaknesses are.
I prefer to study alone, since in that way I get the proper sense of what my
weaknesses are and what my strengths are. I get to improve my weaknesses.
Although if I find any difficulty I cannot take help from any other person unlike
students who study in groups, but then I can always ask for help from a teacher.
But I believe studying on one's own is important because anyone can study in
groups but when it comes to individual studying it becomes tough. And in the
real world an individual is confronted with situations that a person is
responsible individually. And a person can acquire such a sense of
responsibility only through working on his or her own.
Thus, it can be concluded that studying alone is more effective than studying in
groups. Although, the different methods of studying mostly depend on what
works better for the student.
