Benefits of Study Groups

 Everyone is allowed their opinions. These are neither right nor wrong. It is only a person’s view.

 

 

Study groups can be either help a student grow or can pull a student down.   advantages are only present in good study groups.

 

1).Because study groups meet at regular times, attending students cannot procrastinate. 

If alone, a student might postpone studying until the night before class. When in a study group, however, students have to be present at a specific time, and they are not able to procrastinate (unless they skip the study group completely

 

2). Working together, students in study groups can generally learn faster than students working alone.

For instance, some part of the textbook that seems completely confusing to you could be quite clear to another student.  In a study group, instead of spending valuable time puzzling over the difficulty, you can learn quickly by simply asking a question.

In addition, you can help your fellow students also when they have difficulties understanding something that you do understand.

 

 

3). If you study by yourself, you will always see your material from the same perspective – yours.

While this may not be a problem, getting fresh perspectives on a topic can help you learn it more thoroughly.

Study groups are the perfect places to find these new perspectives. As you listen and ask questions, you will soon start noticing a wide variety of different viewpoint on the same idea.

This will force you to think more about your position and will, therefore, develop your critical thinking skills while helping you study.

 

4). In addition to learning new perspectives on a topic, you can also find new study techniques.

During the college years, each student develops his own particular study methods. While yours may work excellently, you probably can still find ways to improve your learning abilities and sharpen your mind.

By joining a study group, you will have opportunity to observe a wide variety of study methods in action. After considering the pros and cons, you can improve your own study regimen by incorporating the best methods with your own.

In addition, you can help your other study members improve by sharing your favorite study tricks also.

 

5). Studying by yourself, especially for long periods of time, can become a monotonous activity.

However, by joining a study group, you can break this monotony… and learn faster!

Because of the social aspect of a study group, you will always have someone to discuss the topic with when you start struggling or find the topic tedious.

In addition, the auditory factor of study groups can help auditory learners and students who dislike the silence of studying alone.

If you find some class particularly tedious, consider joining a study group to make it more enjoyable.

 

6).Study groups provide an excellent opportunity to fill in gaps in your notes.

By comparing notes with other students, you can evaluate your accuracy, fix any errors, and get ideas for better note taking.

If, on the other hand, you are a great note taker, you can help other students who had note taking problems fix their mistakes and learn better techniques.

The post is a real practical study of study groups and having ground realities.

May the research be helpful to those who are tired of and suffering from "reading in lonliness".

They will come to know the difference between reading and studying.

One can study alone but to know what he has learnt he'll require others.

Thanks Sisodiya ji

ALL THE PONTS MENTIONED ARE VERY CORRECT.. AND IMPORTANT.. THANSKSSS 

Sir I truly agree with ur views....

..

..

But to some extent.....

the disadvantages of study group are more practical....

..

..

the advantages u reffered above are possible in only one out of 100 study groups.....

..

...

but the disadvantages should also be kept in mind....

..

.

  1. These advantages are possible only if all the students are serious and concerned about their     career..

               even if one person is not serious he will waste the time of others,...

               "ek machli sare talab ko ganda kar degi "


         2.  if a student is dedicated and hardworking he feels that study group is a waste of time


          3. time wastage is also there as an intelligent student will have to teach the same thing 2 or 3                     times to a less intelligent student.....

             it wastes the time of the intelligent one....


         4. the CA syllabus is so vast that it is practically impossible to cover whole syllabus though                          studying in groups..  


          

these all were my personal thoughts and i didn't intend to hurt or contradict anyone...   

WONDERFUL SIR JI, ARTICLE HO THO AISE:)

Everyone is allowed their opinions. These are neither right nor wrong. It is only a person’s view

 

Very True.

Really Nice Article Ravi Ji a very true analysis..

One thing I completely agree with Ravi Sir is that in group studies a particular topic becomes clearer in the mind of students regarding various adjustments. If one student have some query and it is possible that the other might not be aware of it, then by asking such query in the group they can themselves find the answer and gain more confidence.

 

 

Commitment among each student is an important aspect in the study group. At times there will be non-productive phases during study hours because it is very much possible that when friends meet they tend to spend the time more in other activities and gossip. This has to be monitored regularly otherwise they will do more harm to them instead of benefit.

 

 

Group study also depends on individual choice. Some students prefer to study individually and some in groups. They have to decide on their own which suits them the best and decide accordingly.
