The Power of Study Groups
Working together helps everyone
You may have noticed that when
you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand
it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to
think more deeply about it.
The same principle makes study
groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:
·
Think
out loud
·
Share
ideas
·
Learn from one
another
In an effective study group, you
and other students hash out lesson materials together – explaining concepts,
arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from anothers
– and in the process you most likely learn more than you would have.
