Do you learn more when you study alone or when you are with a group?  email this discussion to a friend?

In relation with my study habits before, I prefer to be alone.I usually stays in my room with all my notebooks and books everywhere.I can say that I am the type of person who is a lover of books. I very much love learning and it is really a great pleasure for me when during my reading, I learned something. But when I stepped into college, our university opens more opportunities for me in the field of learning.Our professors usually groups us whenever they will give us some activities. Based on my experiences, I can say that group learning is better for me rather than studying alone. With the so called "group learning" or "collaborative learning" it enhances more not only my intellectual skills and creative but also my social skills. With my experiences in my studies, I can really say that "Two heads are better than one". However, I know that people of different ages have different perspectives in learning. While in myself, I can say that I learn more with a group, others can say that they learn more when they study alone. How about you? What is your opinion on this one?

yes i learn more when i study alone , but in some topics it is better to have a serious discussion, i like to discussions only when people r serious .but mostly i find that when people study in a group they dont concentrate on studies , rather they concentrate on having fun.but if there r serious people i would definitely like to study in a group.


myLot reputation of 97/100. annierose (1414)   ranked 11 out of 6,145 in student  3 years ago

hi kapil_poundarik,

I absolutely agree with you. If you groupmates are really serious, then you can say that you can learn,but if not, better to study alone. I, myself feel same waylol

I like to study alone but have found that when studying for tests sometimes group study is even better. Group study is also good for homework because you can get help if you don't understand something. I do my current classes online so I don't get the chance to study in groups and think that sometimes it would be helpful. So overall I can go either way. I will work harder I think on my own because I don't have anyone there with me but in a group I can get their opinions and anything that I may have missed.

hi prncesfrmheaven,

Its nice to see you here and thanks for responding to my discussion.Studying alone and studying on group has really its own different advantages.


myLot reputation of 96/100. prncesfrmheaven (218)   ranked 1,468 out of 6,145 in student  3 years ago

This is true. I think it depends on the person as well. Some people may learn better in a group rather than alone.

I like study alone,because I can think about something carefully.But studying with a group is also no bad.I can get some different ideas.These ideas will be helpful.

hi ruilong,

Thanks for responding. Well, as I have mentioned, two heads are better than one but I do love studying alone also sometimes.thumbup

I have to study alone, there's too much the possibility for distraction (conversation, etc) to study with others.

I generally learn more when I study on my own. I love books and it is easy for me to study on my own. When I went to nursing school I was in a really great study group. The other members and I got along really well and today (seven years later) we are still friends, but there are certain disadvantages about studying in a group of close friends. We always had a good time, but we often talked too much about other things and we were not good at concentrating on the work. We had to memorize a lot of Latin words and it was useful to practice the words together, but when I had to understand the different things it was better for me to study on my own.

Thanks for responding well. You have your point.thumbup

I study better alone. I can concentrate and it is quiet. Classroom lectures and group studies help. But in order for me to completely understand a concept and the reasoning behind a subject, I need to be alone. I am no good in contributing to group discussions if I have not analyzed the subject myself first.

hi nurseia,

oh, I can relate with u. I am also doing samehappy

I think studying alone is s style used when you are young, group studying is a style used when you grew up.when we were little girls or boys,we did not know something around us,so we learn from books,from our parents.the knowledge we acquired is something basical.then as our ages grew,we form our own opinions,so we are eager to talking with our friends and classmates.we could communicate with them,exchange our views to enrich our knowledge.


myLot reputation of 97/100. annierose (1414)   ranked 11 out of 6,145 in student  3 years ago

hi lvyanyan,

I agree with you with your post.I also observed it because the more we grow, the more we become aware of others also.
