The Power of Study Groups
Part 1
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 has out lesson materials together—explaining concepts, arguing about them. Figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
