Have you ever wondered if it is better to study alone or in a group?

This
question is very common in students' lives, but I believe the answer is: "it
depends!". There is no better way than the other. Each of them makes sense
depending on the context. The two forms of study must be complementary.
Studying alone is important to build your information base, while studying in a
group consolidates all your learning.
First, studying alone requires more discipline and dedication time, because for
this type of learning, organization is the main requirement for positive results. It
is very common to find different types of students using the individual study
method, such as college student, candidates for public tenders. College
students need more study time alone, as they usually need to study many
complex subjects and do a lot of research on current news. In the case of
candidates for public tenders, the subjects are very specific for the intended
position, which requires a very long time of dedication for the student to be able
to absorb the content.
Second, studying in a group is a way to consolidate the learning obtained
individually. One day you can explain to your friends everything about a certain
subject, the next you will learn with other friends everything about another
subject. Group study allows you to receive information, learn new concepts,
clear up your doubts and explain everything you know. There is only one
problem: it takes much longer, as it relies on the interaction of other people.
Studying in groups puts into practice a phrase that I learned at a young age:
“People learn by teaching”, because when they go to pass on knowledge, it is
necessary to seek complementary information.
In conclusion, the right question would be: do you have time to study in a
group? It can be very enriching to interact and share information, but it requires
more time available. The only question that leads students to rethink this
method of study, is the little time they have to study and dedicate themselves to
sharing information.
