The power of study groups

Part 1

Working together helps everyone

You may have notice that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it betters yourself. This happens because, when your 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 group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together--explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why ones person’s answer differs from another’s--and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Choose the Right!!!
