Following what we mentioned in the previous article, Group Learning I, I am going to list the benefits that are achieved if we practice group study constantly, during the period preceding the period of public exams:
- The doubts that one encounters during the solitary study, can be clarified by all ... On the other hand, your doubts can awaken those who had not even raised them.
- The exhibition or defense of a program, or of a work that the call demands, will be different in all, and that is the enriching thing, because you will be able to write down what points you like about each one to appropriate them. The same on your part, your emphasis in some aspects can be acquired by others.
- The works made can be used by everyone, for example manipulative material (in the case of teaching competitions), for example photocopies of psychotechnical tests (in oppositions of Law and Order bodies), summaries, diagrams, personal opinions ... They will always give you different points of view, which you will later adapt, if it suits you.
- Personal attitude can also be a handicap at the time of appearing before a triumphal of some oppositions. Between all of you you can contribute some premises that will be useful in this situation, such as maintaining your gaze, as an expositional reading, as a respectful treatment, ... These debates and discussions will benefit you mutually.
- The group can serve as a corrector, and to the "examinee" at that moment, tell them what faults or things they can improve. The evaluation from various perspectives benefits more than if a single exam examiner tells the opponent what they think they should work harder.
The group, not too large, offers many advantages to personal study. But you have to keep an eye out since There are many things to take into account when creating a truly useful group. We continue in Group Learning III.
