People al looks fork up to find the becomeable athletic field manners to upgrade the effectualness. Either perusing in a meeting or analyse exclusively is the better port has caused public debate. Some people hold that in that respect is no denying that analyze in a group exerts positive impact on legion(predicate) aspects. First and foremost, theatreing in a group, the principal methods in to a greater extent schools, is beneficial to mutual under foundationing, which entrust enhance students communication abilities.Besides, the efficiency of firmness of purpose problems allow definitely be improved, for they sight get second from take leaveners. dying tho non least, Student provide study headspring when he is studying with a group of students because he can get well ideas from opposites which he dont know and to a greater extent(p renominal) over he allow not feel bore part he is studying. If he got any doubts succession studying, he can clear up the doubts immediately. Other people strongly contain that in that respect argon some students who brace got coarse achievements by studying solo insisting that independent study is feasible and to a greater extent than effective. To piece it another way, oneness can study without any disturbance.While studying altogether he cant get commodity ideas. If he got any doubt, it cannot be clarify by his own. Then it give be time waste for him. For example, while he is studying unsocial if the subject is not interest to him, his brainpower may get divert from the subject and concentration will be lost. First, I will go to the school to do a survey to the highest degree study in the class. Second, the questionnaire topic is probably about do you think study in group? And, which modal value is better for you? Is studying in group or studying alone? Thir d, I would occupy both(prenominal) questions to some p atomic number 18nts and teachers.Key word good demeanor to study, group study, study alone, high school, place education, one-on-one tutoring 1. Introduction 1. Background In the twenty-first century, most of the family has an only child out of the police in china. such a child is an apple in the eyes in a family. It is each pargonnts desire to give their children the best start in liveliness, they would bid to search a best way to their children and get a great education. Almost all students were tutored by one-on-one. And some students exhaust an experience of withdrawnness learning. At the same time, the traditional educational means confronts a big challenge.Some p arnts concord their child study alone because of they believe that it is a good way to concentrate on his or her study. Currently in that respect has been a fierce debate over whether students should go to school study in group or study alone at home . Views on the sulphurous issue vary greatly. Advocates of studying alone hold the benefits of students argon well documented. Students who study at home by themselves be often exposit as much positive(p), independent and worldly wise than schools student counterpart. Because of they essential to independently read to a greater extent books and webp season to look for more study.Moreover, there are many ways to acquire knowledge, such as distance learning, one-on-one class and soon on. Students can discern a good way to study according to several(predicate) situation. Worst of all, reports are often perceive that some students committed suicide or murdered their roommates. So that, some people get to study alone and even gave up the fortune of go to school collect(p) to severe compel from the student will be compare with others. On the other hand, innovative as distance-learning applied science may be, it can supersede classrooms altogether. True education should not be confined to the delivery of info.It should involve the cultivation of effective learning habits, the development of group banter skills and the gainment of collaboration as well, which we cannot find in online course. More importantly, campus-based education tend to foster a mentoring partnership betwixt educators and learners while in historicality, distance education rarely helps to establish a mentoring relationship between the faculty phalluss and the students, due to the long physical distance. Amid these people who harbour argued in study ways the high students take up quite large proportion. match to a net of education, at least half of high schools students go through tutoring alone. And most students parents willing to spent notes on study alone. Thus if you want to research the good way to study, you must focus on high school students. There are many reasons to choose the students of high school as respondents. Firstly, students have more experience than othe r school of basic education. Secondly, there is bitter competition for student. As is well know the college accession exam is a real challenge to students, students want to do their best to action the challenge.Thus they will choose a good way to study at any cost. Finally, and higher up all, the competition is fierce and the nine-hour test is offered just once a socio-economic class and is the sole determinant for admission to virtually all Chinese colleges and universities. Moreover, the college entrance examination is seen as potentially life-changing. If you enter a university through the exam, your life career and future life will be decide. Everyone attaches great wideness to this exam. In recent years, the field of education becomes a hot indus accent. Meanwhile, more and more problems appear in education.For school study, they eer make a ranking and everyone can see the results of other students to see all the students of all grade rankings. This measure will undoubted ly bring them great pressure to study, even affect health and life. We often read the cleans student suicides of form the news paper. However, student is more say-so who study alone at home. They can get the tutoring which is face-to-face. It is a very good and effective way of learning. But it is not a good way to good communication skills and has team work spirit. 2. Statement of the problem Each one has its own superiority.During the researching course, I try to analyze and study to this problem from several(predicate) point of view. I research many incompatible questions, such as which ways of study of you standardised, do you think some problem pull round in study in a group, how long you will study at home everyday and soon on. I survey this question due to we desire know whether students more efficient who study alone, whether more and more student dont like study at school, whether there are some problems exist in tradition education, whether study alone is better tha n studying in a group, whether parent lynchpin teachers of students support to study alone and so on. . Review of literature According to this literature, there are other factors affect students. Its action cannot venial inspect. Firstly, its important to spend your time productively. Students need to make a clear plans and schedule, meanwhile, they should to learn the top student has no intrusions on study time. Secondly, every student should seek out a method of learning which is suit to him/her. They cannot copy other peoples ways due to the diametrical level of different students.Finally, if you dont have any elicit in study and even dont know wherefore you need to study, you cannot get a high score even if you stand in a good group or have a good tutor. They need improve their skill and have fun. Indeed, study skills are not the most important things. But there are the bases of study. When you finish it, the environment will become more important. To be sure, people are d ifferent. Everyone should to choose a way which is adapt to him or her to study. For this literature, we know that there are main ways to study. One of this is belong to studying in a group and others are belonging to study alone.They are group study, one-on-one tutoring and distance education. Group study is benefit to establish the confidence of students. It can easily build team spirit among classmate. If you are one member of a group, you will be watching by other members in the group. You will have to try harder due to you wanting to more successful and getting the credit for. Moreover, a group likes a piece. Everyone will do their best to help you when your stand in the same group. solving problem will become easier, because youre not alone, and there is strength in numbers At the same time, a problem exists in the group.A member of group in charge of a part so that they cannot make the whole of one topic which is his or her group researched. If you study alone, you need do anything by yourself. It is a better way to acquire new knowledge and research questions. The tutoring of one-on-one is benefit to everyone due to the pertinence of student. When you disorder to some things, you will not worry didnt hear what the teacher was saying. If you could not compass the simplest problems, you could ask your tutor and do not worries to be laughed by other classmate. And teacher will follow you and choose the best way and important course to you.However, we cannot overlook the dis receipts of this way. First, if you choose tutoring of one-on-one, you will endure the power of activities with other classmates. I perchance feel tired and dumb for study alone. Second, it is not easy to find out a standard to adapt you. Third, you do not know the level of tutoring teacher. You maybe cannot meet a teacher which tutor is suit to you. blank space education has the advantage of low-cost and easy to extradite time. Students can study on anywhere and any time. Co mpare with one-on-one tutor is a good way to save money and get pointed comments on study.But it still has some problems. First, there are a lot of tutor from 3rd world due to they want to save money. They do not know the system of your ground and cannot give you a good idea of study. Moreover, sometimes we cannot meet the on-line tutor to know about teaching level. Lastly, teaching on-line is not a good way to communication with teacher. Because the internet is not very stability, the speed is very slow. Sometimes we will loss some information due to the latency. If you can learning of face-to-face, you can use the body nomenclature explain your mind. 3. Design and Measurements usedThere are three kinds of people are sexual congress to this survey. They are parents, teachers and students. Thus, the questionnaire includes three aspect questions to different people. However, the high school students who will accept more in-depth questions as the main respondents. The questionnaire consists mainly of three parts. In the first place, the question is about the basic information of all participants. And, the participants will be arranging to different groups according to the basic information. For example, girls and boys will have different choice when they face to some things.If students can choose the school, girls maybe focus on school uniform which schools is more beautiful and boys will be attracts to excellent sporting facilities. In the chip place, the question is about the extant problems and advantage. Such as, what problem you face in study in a group or study alone. This part will be conducive to we find out the problem in the twain ways and help us solve current problems more correctly to choose a good way to study. Finally, the investigations are focus on the expectantly things. Such as, which ways you want to add in your study process.We need know which ways of study of people like in further and therefore further research. 4. Result The survey s hows that there are seventy percent students choose studying in a group is a good way to study. There are two reasons Two-thirds of this people gave reason is that they cannot make a good plan and pull wires themselves. One-thirds of this people gave the reason is that they can make new friend and have activities with others. But sixty percent of these persons have experience to study alone by one-on-one tutoring. And nearly ninety people would like to try to study alone in future.Students who support study alone are a good way to study about thirty percent. more or less people think that it is a great help for my quick alter the score. However, nine out of ten people vociferation that it is a method to help study but it is the main way to study. One ordinal of the students choose to get the tutor by one-on-on due to they need to be target. A tenth of the students choose the on-line tutoring. They believe that it can save money and easy to control the teaching time. The last pa rt is about the parents and teachers of students. Almost all parents and teachers support study in a group.But they constantly believe that if their children and students would like to improve the level of student they will to encourage these students. 5. Conclusion My question is that what is better way to study? It can be found there are many ways to study. Firstly, study skills are important whatever you studying in a group or study alone. Secondly, the research show that most people think group study is better to study. Lastly, studying alone only as the assistant study method. However, some students are favor to study alone who are an average student or a poor student.They believe that they can get the effective guidance from the one-on-one tutoring. Other students are support studying in a group who are top student. They claim that it is unnecessary spent to a private teacher. For teachers and parents, they have the same viewpoint. theatre alone is a way to help student to improve themselves, but it is not the best way to study. If the student can understand the knowledge in the class, study alone is not necessary. 6. Discussion The survey only includes the high school student, and only search the answer form my pals class.The class only have 60 members is not enough to a prefect research. For the party of teacher and parents, the research is more imperfection due to small group in search. So the study is no crucial answer to these questions. And there also have some problem in this research. For example, there have many ways to study, such as, study in a teaching center, study by yourself and soon on. But I only search the study in group. And the way of study alone also has many ways. This paper only aim to a small group who study in high school. Actually, there has a small group study alone now.All in all, the survey has its limitation. pic 7. Recommendations 1. Research recommendation Firstly, you need to read a lot of articles what you want to research. Because this can help you gain a main idea of the field. Meanwhile, you will get the different perspectives from different authors. Moreover, making notes is also important to search a problem. imputable to we need to understand what the articles say. It is not only to copy it. Next, most information is coming from the Internet which is not regular compare with other pedantic books. We should go to the library to find information.Lastly but not least, the investigator involve to search from different groups in a particular community and different level. One fields people is different to other fields. 2. Issue-related recommendations First of all, the people should focus on a variety of ways to ask questions. For example, Likert denture guarantees a survey to including the overall aspects of the problem which is very useful. We can break that the length of the questionnaire, which respond may a few time. And, there has a easy way to ask questions of the model. Another e xample is APA style, it is also a good way to sure where the literature.It not only useful to source to found out more point, but also telling the lector where the point from. It is a good way to make you researcher more regular and have authority.
