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 principles make studying groups useful. Studying with
others in small groups 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 material 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 have studying by yourself.
