Study Alone vs Study In A Group

Studying Alone or In A Group?

           Studying is a process of learning or activity to understand about something by reading, analyzing, memorizing and attending courses or school. Children, teenagers, and adults do studying regardless of age. Everyday they study from their life without exception. Moreover in Islamic Religion, as our Prophet said in Hadith “Tholabul ilmi faridhotun ‘ala kulli muslimin wal muslimat”. It means that learning is an obligatory for every men and women. Usually every people study by themselves or study with others, it has been a part of education in this world. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

            Studying alone has many advantages, the person can choose their own method of studying. They can devide the right time and suitable places to do it. Besides, the person can have enormous privacy which they don’t get in a group. On the other hand, studying alone also has negative sides. Someone who are studying alone will get distructed easily, they will slip their concentration when they see something. In the case, when they face an examination and they did not learn it thoroughly. Of course, it will be difficult for them to remember what they have learned. Furthermore, studying alone will not solve our problem in a case because of we do not have any idea again at all.

            Studying in a group has some benefits as well. Besides we can get the problem solution, we can make a good teamwork and make a better chance of getting higher grades. For example, when a group got a big project and it will be devided into equal part. For instance, the group is consists of six people and each person will get one sixth (1/6) of the project. Probably one will be responsible in introduction, the other four for the body of the project, and the last person is conclusion. It will make a better teamwork. But, studying in a group also has disadvantages such as when in some cases, there is no teamwork in a group, some people rely anyone else or they depend on the work of their friend.

            To sum up, every study method has their own benefit and disadvantages. I prefer to study by my self. I usually study during the night because I will not get distracted by anything. It will be so quiet, I will not have a chance of losing my concentration and I can understand quickly about some project. Studying alone also gives me a chance to improve my methods of studying. It will prepare for my future and I do not rely on anyone else so that I will become independent woman. In spite of that, studying in a group also gives me a new knowledge, we can help each other, we can get something new that we’ve never got before. However study with others is beneficial for some people in this world.
