 CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction

The learning process at the higher level of education is one of the critical

factors in enhancing the knowledge of the students in the particular case of

subjects. In this generation, being an extrovert is really a big issue in our society.

Wherein the researchers can relate it also in the learning style of the students.

Many students are ensure if it's more time efficient to study with a group of

classmates or on their own. Sometimes students prefer the independence and

control of studying alone. Other students need a study group to help motivate

them. In short, every student has their own learning style whether it is a self

study or a group study.

Self study is becoming more popular way to engage students with what

they are learning in class. Students have the ability to access so many resources

that now learning can happen anywhere and anytime, not just in the classroom.

Self studying is a great method students can use to enhance their learning

experience whether they are studying for a particular course or learning about a

topic for fun, by practicing self study, students are encouraged to further explore

topics they are interested in, developing stronger study skills as a result. One of

the major advantages of self study is that students can take control over their

own learning. And when students have control, they become even more

interested in learning. Students prefer to be alone are able to think about topics

more deeply and make connections between what they are learning they are
able to remember it better. According to Bosworth, "Self-study is more productive

than group study and student learn more while studying alone; they can give

proper time and concentration to their studies".

Dr. Sirajul Haq (2009) stated that the advantage of studying alone is that it

allows an individual to have an opinion of their own that is not influenced by the

thinking of their peers. This encourages the individual to be independent in

thinking hence they do not get used to basing their opinions on what others think

but what they view as the correct opinion. This will manifest itself not only in that

area of study but also in the individuals overall perspective on life issues. This

enables the individual to become a reliable person in life who is not easily

swayed by other people’s views but one who takes a strong stand to their ideas

and views. In contrast to this, studying in groups will lead to opinions that are

influenced by the views of the other group members hence one’s individual

opinion is dwarfed, which can lead to the suppression of an individual’s growth

both mentally and psychologically.

In some cases, forming study groups is a very effective strategy for

enhancing learning. This is because groups share unique insights and learn from

each other. Group members can also teach confusing concepts they understand

to other group members. Group study is particularly effective for completing

projects, developing presentations and preparing for exams. Studying in group

encourage members to think creatively and build strong communication skills

which also help in refining understanding of material. A major benefit of studying

in a group is being able to ask classmates if something doesn't make sense.

Having other students around to help review concepts can also offer a deeper

understanding of the class material. According to Anthony (2013), "The group

mentality if what I think makes it most effective . If you know that someone is

relying on you ,then you will do what you have to get the job done".

Becton Loveless stated that the benefit of studying in a group is that it

provides an excellent means for students to compare class lecture notes.

Comparing notes allows students to fill in any information or important concepts

they may have missed during lecture. Also, since everyone has individual talents

and unique insights, group members can learn from each other. Study groups

provides students an opportunity to benefit from the talents and knowledge of

the other group members.

Furthermore, Dr. Haq (2009) stated that the study method applied may be

based on the individual’s personality. Some people prefer studying on their own

while others prefer working in groups. This may be determined by their

personality with introverts preferring to study alone and extroverts who tend to be

more social preferring to be involved in a group study. Individual study may be

considered appropriate for those individual with high concentration ability, as they

will be able to maintain their concentration no matter the period of time they will

be required to cover the subject of study. However, for an individual with a low

concentration span, group work would be the more appropriate approach as the

monotony involved in studying alone would be eradicated. With the heated

debates and activities, involving different personalities the interest of the

individual will be sustained. The individual will also get a chance to contribute
and reason with his group mates and that will make him/her feel like a part of the

discussion hence enabling him/her to maintain concentration throughout.

Researchers conduct this study to help not just the students, but the

teachers as well to know the effective way on enhancing students in their

learning. And also, for the researchers to identify what effective learning style

would suit to every student's competence in learning. Self and Group Study is

productive to the students in enhancing their learning abilities, enhances student

social skills, help bolster student confidence and helps student practice

assertiveness. The researchers got motivated to conduct this study for the

benefit they will receive when this study is done. Also, the students who have

poor habits in studying became their inspiration in order to get an idea what

appropriate learning style is effective for them.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework gives the viewpoint of the study.

Learning method or style plays an important role when it comes to the

improvement of the learning of students. This is worth considering topic of

today's generation. Both Self and Group Study method is a very effective

strategy for enhancing learning wherein students can also build their social life.

The figure shows the flow of the study. The first phase is the Self-Study

wherein the researchers will gather information if this method is the appropriate

leaning style for the students. The second one is the Group Study, in relation to

the aforementioned, the researchers will also study this to prove that this method

is the effective learning style for the students. The last one is the output or the

main reason why this study was conducted and where the researchers identified

and construct recommendations to solve the problem.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to determine the appropriate learning styles between self

and group study of selected Senior High School students in Alangilan SHS

Campus.

Specifically, it sought answers the following questions:

1. As assessed by the respondents, how may the extent of learning be

described in terms of:

1.1. Self-Study

1.2. Group Study

2. Is there any significant difference between self and group study?

3. Is there any significant relationship between self and group study?

4. Based on the findings, what appropriate learning styles may be

proposed to enhance one's learning of select senior high school

students?
Hypotheses of the study

Ho: There is no significant difference between the assessment on self and

group study in determining appropriate learning styles of the respondents.

Ho: There is no significant relationship between the assessment on self

and group study in determining appropriate learning styles of the respondents.

Scope, Delimitations and Limitations

This study encompasses the comparison between self and group study by

the students among the select Senior High School in Alangilan campus.

Data gathered were based on the administered questionnaire. Likewise,

the researchers use books from the library of the different schools. Internet was

utilized as well to support the present the study. This study focuses on the

comparison between self and group study a basis for determining an appropriate

style of the select Senior High School students in Alangilan campus.

Furthermore, the present research was delimited to Senior High School in

Alangilan campus since the population there was already enough to the demand

of the study.

This research was limited to the respondents' knowledge of the variables

being studied. Furthermore, data gathered were just based on the respondents

who were present.

Significance of the Study

The results obtained by the researcher will benefit the following:

Students. The result will provide the students with some knowledge/idea about

the appropriate learning style between self and group study. It will also give the

students a realization how self or group study plays an important role in their

lives.

Teachers/Professors. This research can be their basis on using this

method/style for the improvement of the students and the student's relationship

as well. This research will aid them their discussions regarding related lessons. It

will be easy for them to tackle topics about this research.

Administration. They can utilize the results of the study as basis for determining

an appropriate learning style between self and group study that would surely

promote the development of student.

Future Researcher. This research will become a useful reference for the

researchers who will make a plan for any related study to comparison between

self and group study a basis for determining appropriate style.

Definition of Terms

To facilitate understanding of the study, the following terms are defined

conceptually and operationally.

Benefit- According to (Merriam Webster0, it is something that produces good or

helpful results or effects or that promotes well-being advantages.

In this study, the benefit of studying in a group is being able to ask classmate if

something doesn't make sense.

Capability- According to Oxford Dictionary, it is the power of ability to do

something.

In this study, a student's capability greatly enhances a student's style of learning.

Connection- According to Oxford Dictionary, it is a relationship in which a

person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else.

In this study, a student's connection to his learning style chosen provides his

greater insight into his learning.

Development- According to (Merriam Webster), it is the act or process of

growing or causing something to grow or become larger or more advanced.

In this study, development is where the students can handle themselves in

studying by using the two methods, the self and group study learning style.

Goal- According to Oxford Dictionary, it is the object of a person's ambitions or

effort: an aim or desired result.

In this study, the goal is reflected in the student's assiduousness through his or

her own way of learning.

Group Study - According to thesaurus, it is a group of people who meet to study

a particular subject and then report their findings or recommendations.

In this study, Group study is particularly effective for completing projects,

developing presentations and preparing for exams.

Learning Style - According to study.com, learning styles are different modalities,

or ways of learning information. People generally have one or two ways of

learning that is more effective for them than others.

In this study, learning style is the process for enhancing the skills and capabilities

of the students. Also, this the way for enhancing the knowledge of the students.

Performance- (Oxford Dictionary), studies tend to concentrate on a mix of

research method.

In this study, performance contribute significantly in the development of

knowledge and perceptual capacities.

Self-Study - According to (Merriam Webster), it is the study of one's self.

In this study, self studying is a great method students can use to enhance their

learning experience whether they are studying for a particular course or learning

about a topic for fun.

Skills- According to Natalie Severt, skills are your natural talents and the

abilities you develop to perform a task or job.

In this study, skills to students will have to learn how to work effectively in groups

on the job, schools should teach those skills and let students practice them.
 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter deals with a review of literature and research conducted by

local and international researchers closely related to the present study. They

formed the background and provided information that helps the researchers

conceptualize the framework necessary to the study.

Related Literature

The related literature tackled the concepts that are related to the current

study, and serves as a supporting detail for the recent study. In conceptual

literature, the researchers discussed the concepts about self and group study.

Self-Study

Karanja (2017), " Why and How Self Learning is Important". Self-learning

gives you the ability to identify problems and quickly look for effective solutions

on your own. This could be from colleagues, the internet or by exploration.

Whatever the case, challenges and obstacles do not kill your drive to get things

done, instead, they provide you with new opportunities to learn something new at

your own pace and time. You get to learn how to actively look for solutions

instead of having solutions brought to you. Moreover, you can easily adapt to

changes in the environment due to the ability to learn fast.

 As students do more self-study, many become more confident learners.

They are able to see themselves as an independent person who is able to learn

new things without anyone helping them. This can be a major motivation boost

for students. Self-study allows students to take learning at their own pace,

focusing on areas they are most interested in(or want to understand a bit better).

This helps reduce feelings of frustrations, anxiety, or boredom that students may

struggle with in a classroom setting (Grade Power Learning: Enrichment

Studying, 2018).

The first module of the elective course (Students' self-education: learning

to learn across the lifespan, Sagitova 2014) is focused on designing student’s

individual educational route as one of the forms of student’s self-education. We

are convinced that designing student’s individual educational route promotes

students to learn forms and methods of self-education: students acquire the

ability to design their educational and self-educational activity, properly manage

their time, productively work with educational material and monitor the results of

work. We regard individual educational route as purposefully planned individual

educational program which provides students with the subject position of

educational activity and promotes the formation of their self-education on the

basis of psychological and pedagogical support.

Advantages to studying alone are that it minimizes distraction, allows you

to pace yourself, and can improve your focus. When you are by yourself,

distraction is minimized due to the lack of other interaction you have other than
with your schoolwork. You can take breaks whenever you feel overwhelmed, or

even read at a speed that suits you. This pacing of your own work can be

extremely beneficial to you, for no one knows you better than yourself. Lastly, the

improvement of focus that comes with studying alone is crucial. This lets you

have the flexibility to learn different sections that you personally need

improvement on as well as leave less stress on aspects you may have already

mastered (Getcollegecredit.com)

Group-Study

Working in groups makes it possible to focus on more concepts since

multiple people can review more material than just one. Many groups decide to

assign topics to individual group members to research and study and then

provide a summary for the group. This strategy allows students to learn a lot

more, in a lot shorter time, than if they were to study each topic on their own

(Education Corner,2019).

According to Oxford Learning (Studying in Groups vs. Studying Alone:

Which is Better?) , a true test in knowing if a student understands a concept or

not is if he or she is able to explain it to someone else. Studying with others gives

you an opportunity to better understand the topic by discussing it with someone

else. Not understanding a concept and having no one around to help can be very

frustrating.
 Group study can be a great alternative to studying on tough subject

matter. In fact, studying alone isn't the most productive option for some people.

Group study can help you understand tricky material. It might sound obvious, but

the more brains that you have working on something, the more likely a solution

will be found. While you can get distracted in a group situation, as everyone is

working towards the same goals and deadlines, there is less temptation to

procrastinate (UNITEC Institute of Technology, 2017).

Petress (2014), " The Benefits of Group study". Group study has benefits

that fall into the cognitive ( what we think and know) and effective (how we feel

and express our feelings). Such study enhances student social skills, helps

bolster student confidence, and helps student practice assertiveness. Group

study skills are transferable to other tasks. Learning quality group study skills

prepares students to enter expanding work arenas where teamwork is

demanded. Group study requires students to articulate what they know to fellow

group members. These group activities sharpen members' communication skills

as well as enhancing their cognitive skills. Group study validates what students

really know if they are required to articulate in the presence of others what they

have learned. When they are able to clearly articulate what they know, are able

to withstand challenges to what they know, their knowledge is reinforced and

verified. Such validation lessens stress related to examinations by lessening self

doubt about what they know.

 Anil (2019), " Reasons Why Group Study is Better than Self Study". Group

Study provides you the opportunity to test where you stand with respect to

others. Through discussions with your group members, you can figure out where

you stand in a particular topic, which can act as a source of feedback and, if

required, nudge for environment. In a group, you can also learn the best study

practices that have worked for others, get motivated from the progress of others,

and, sometimes, restore your confidence by seeing that you're not at the bottom

of the heap.

Related Studies

The related studies tackled the past studies to the current study, and

serve as a supporting detail for the recent study. In research literature, the

researchers discussed the researches that supplement information about self

and group study.

Bismillah (2011), " Study Behavior (Individual vs Group Study)”, each

student has their own study habits such as individual learning and group study.

Some of them more like cooperative learning that can make study group with

their friends and can enhance students' social development as well as interest in

the learning. Some of students like individual learning that have their personal

style in learning and plan how to manage time and subject. Bismillah concluded

that both of study behavior has their own advantages to students. Individual or

self study has more advantages of students want to be more focus in study. It
can be extremely useful for individual to have other people studying with him or

her who can make sure that the individual stays focused on the task at hand.

Secondly, study groups allow the individual to compare ideas and notes about

topics that the individual understands, and more importantly, about topics that the

individual may not understand.

Arlauskiene (2015), " Students' Attitude Towards Self Study: A Case of

College Study Programmes in Social Sciences" , in recent years the significance

of quality in higher education has been emphasized, with special emphasis

placed on the opinion of students. The study analyses the attitude of college

students toward self-study assignments as a factor essential for the development

of generic competences, presently related to the widely discussed educational

paradigms, such as study-oriented learning, metacognitive study strategies, and

holistic personality development. The changes in the educational paradigms and

recent fundamental and applied research reveal the importance of student

independent work in the study process and the development of abilities

necessary for learning, the enhancing of motivation, and the promotion of

reflection and critical thinking.

Laguador (2014) from LPU-Batangas, "Collaborative Learning Approach in

an Outcome-Based Environment", collaborative learning is an approach to the

aim of student-centered classroom activities towards the attainment of the

outcome-based environment as required by accrediting and certifying bodies

and agencies of higher education. The teacher should prepare the activities
towards the attainment of the group goals. Everyone is an important composition

of the team and each member should actively participate. The learning outcomes

of the students gained from the collaborative learning serve as an essential

product in an effort to provide quality education for the future leader of the world.

According to Haq (2009), every student has different potential of capability

and according that a student adopts his pattern of study. Some students like to

have group study because they are able to enhance their not only knowledge

but also thinking ability, confidence ability during the discussion with other group

members. Besides that, they also do their individual-study. They do group study

for sharing their knowledge whatever they have read it in an individual-study.

Such students are deemed as those who are self-confident in their studies as

well as in group study.

In addition, it is also concluded that both types of learning style (Individual

Study and Group Study) is productive to the students in enhancing their learning

abilities. By having an individual study, students are able to enhance their

reading, writing and comprehensive ability and by having a group study, they are

able to enhance their rational, thinking and confidence ability during the

discussion in a group.

Lourdes M. Ferrer (2013)," Collaborative Learning: An Essential Element

in Student-Centered Instruction", current education reforms promote student-

centered instruction that develops thinking, encourages active participation, and

arouses interest to explore concepts. In reality these goals are rarely achieved

because the classroom learning environments puts heavy premium on lectures

and class discussion. The interaction skills developed in these strategies enabled

group to function effectively. The strategies used in this study broadly

encompass the essence of learner-centeredness, which fundamentally

emphasizes the act of learning together.

Bindler et. al. (2013), " The impacts of Individual and Collaborative

learning of International Tourism and Hospitality Management (ITHM) students in

LPU-Batangas", educating students about their own learning styles has benefits

that can extend beyond the walls of the classroom. To begin, matching student

learning styles with instructional styles has been shown to improve students

attitude towards learning in addition to bolstering achievement. Every single

person studies and performs in different ways, whether that to be with a group of

friends or independently. Studying is no different. In order to succeed a student

must try each option and stick to what works.

Cataluna et. al. (2016), "Group Work as an incentive for learning-

students' experiences of group work in LPU-Batangas", group work is used for

learning at all levels n educational systems. There is strong scientific support for

the benefits of having student learning and working in groups. Nevertheless,

studies about what occurs in groups during group work and which factors actually

influence the students' ability to learn is still lacking. The aim of this study is to

add to the current level of knowledge and understandings regarding the essence
behind successful group work in higher education. This research is focused on

the students' experiences of group work and learning in groups, which Is almost

non-existing aspect of research on group work prior to the beginning of the 21 st

century. A primary aim is to give university students a voice in the matter by

elucidating the students' positive and negative points of view and how the student

assess learning when working in groups.

Aclan et. al. (2014), "A Comparison of Individual and Team Learning ",

this study was designed to determine whether team or individual reward

structures have an impact on student learning. Individual and Team learning are

both frequently used in classrooms to support learning. Some students are more

comfortable with individual study. Such students may feel uncomfortable to help

others and seek help from others in any form. They thought of group study is a

waste of time and type of social gathering for gossiping rather than purposeful

study. There are also some students, who are reserved in nature. They can mix

easily with other students. There has been usually lot of conversations and

exchange of ideas within students in a group and some students can freely

express their views in front of others. However, each technique has several

different advantages and disadvantages, it is up to the students to decide which

technique will yield the best results.

Andal et. al. (2013), "Impact of Group and Self Study on Learning Abilities

of Students at the University Level". The universities around the world are

adopting various forms and patterns of teaching methods to inculcate the

students with the good understanding of knowledge in the relative course of

studies. Some universities lead students toward individual studies pattern and

some universities leads students to follow group studies approach and some

universities are directing the students to follow both pattern of studies. Hence,

students in the universities around the world are conducting their studies in

groups as well as individually.

Synthesis

The concepts that defined the self and group study as seen in the related

studies are somewhat connected to each other, it may serve as a basis for the

present study.

The list of the related studies shows that both learning style can really help

students in their studies.

The study of Bismillah (2011), Bindler et. al. (2013), Aclan et. al. (2014),

Andal et. al. (2013) and the present study focused on the same topic. The

difference is the study of Bismillah focused on the behavior of the students while

the present study focused on the appropriate learning style to be proposed to

the students for enhancing their learning. According to Bindler et. al., every single

person studies and performs in different ways whether that to be with a group of

friends or independently, their study focused on the International Tourism and

Hospitality Management (ITHM) students while the present study focused on the

senior high school students. Aclan and his members stated that, each technique

has several advantages and disadvantages, it is up to the students to decide

which technique will yield the best result. According to the group of Andal,

universities around the world are adopting various forms and patterns of teaching

methods to inculcate the students with the good understanding of knowledge in

the relative course of studies. Also, their study focuses on university students.
The past studies concluded that both of study behavior have their own

advantages to students whether it is a self or group study.

The study of Arlauskiene (2015) focused on the students' attitude towards

self study while the present study focused on both learning style ( Self and Group

Study). The students or respondents involved in the past study is the college

students while in the present study, the students involved is the senior high

school. But both study can really help students in their way of learning.

The study of Cataluna et. al. (2016), Laguador (2014) and Ferrer (2013)

focused on Collaborative Learning or Group Study while the present study

tackled about self and group study. According to them, collaborative learning is

the best learning style for the students. But both learning style has its advantages

and disadvantages to the students, it may depend on them what learning style

he/she is capable of.

The study of Haq (2009) and the present study is almost the same. Both

study tackled about the two learning style which is the self (individual) and group

(team) study (learning).Haq also concluded that both types of learning style is

productive to the students in enhancing their learning abilities which is, it is also

the focus of the present study, to identify the appropriate learning style for the

students.
 CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter encompasses the methods and procedures utilized by the

researchers. It covers the research design, respondents of the study, instruments

used the descriptive method of research in order to determine the appropriate

and effective learning style for the students.

Research Design

This study used the descriptive method of research in order to determine

the appropriate learning style. According to Jaime Hayle M.S (2018), descriptive

method can be a survey method. Since the researchers will analyze the

appropriate and effective learning style for the students, hence, the researchers

should effectively use the descriptive method in order to statically analyze the

data. The use of descriptive design enables the researchers to measure the

results rather than exploring the results. In a survey method research,

participants will answer questions administered through interviews or

questionnaires. After participants answer the questions, researchers describe the

response given. In order for the survey to be both reliable and valid it is important

that the questions are constructed properly. Questions should be written so they

are clear and easy to comprehend.

 By using descriptive research, the researcher can effectively design a

pres-structured questionnaires with both open and closed ended questions. The

information, data gathering and statistical treatment.

This study used information collected from the responses of can be used

statistically presented in this type of research method for the easy interpretation

of the report users.

Respondents of the Study

A total of 50 students of Alangilan Senior High School Campus will be the

respondents of the present study.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers utilized different sources to accomplish the study.

This includes making of letter asking the school director of the Alangilan

Senior High School Campus in Alangilan Batangas to permit the researchers to

conduct research through asking the respondents to answer the questionnaires

with regard to the aforesaid variables.

In addition, the researchers will be personally administered the distribution

of the questionnaires among the respondents. They will be also the ones who will

collect the respondents' answers to the given questionnaires and putting it in an

envelope to secure the sheets. The said questionnaires will be tally, analyze and

interpret using the appropriate statistical tests.

Statistical Treatment of Data

After retrieving the questionnaires answered by the respondents, the

collected data will be tally, codify and analyze.

This study utilized the following statistical treatment of data:

Frequency. This was used to determine the number of respondents for

each academic performance likewise learning style used by the respondents.

Percentage. This was used to determine the percentage of students

attended expressed in hundredths.

Ranking. This was used to identify the dominant learning style used by

the respondents.

Weighted Mean. This was used to get the average assessment with

regard to self and group study.

One Way ANOVA. This was used to determine whether there are any

statistically significant differences between self and group study.

Pearson- r. This was used to determine the relationship between self and

group study as learning style of the respondents.
