Some people think it is not necessary for adults to receive education in class. Self-study is
a good way for them to study more effectively. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
[shc_shortcode class=”shc_mybox”]When adults choose to study, it is mostly for self-enrichment, for enjoyment or self-
improvement, not to work toward a vocation or degree. They have two options in front of
them. One is to do self study through various resources such as the internet or libraries and
the other is by enrolling in regular classes. I do agree that self study is more convenient for
adults; however, the most effective approach would be to do major part of the study on
one’s own and top it up with a few days in the classroom.
With the help of the Internet self-study can be a very useful way to learn anything
nowadays. There are thousands of resources available on the Internet that can help one to
traverse the ins and outs of any subject. Many sites also offer video tutorials. By utilizing the
vast amounts of teaching resources as well as authentic materials, such as official online
sites of some universities, one can really develop one’s skills independently. Besides the
Internet one can purchase textbooks or borrow books from libraries that can help in
learning about any subject. Finally, self study requires very little finances and one can also
look after family commitments.
There are some disadvantages of self study. To begin with, it is difficult to remain focused
on study and one can get bored or distracted very soon. The teachers in the classroom
setting can keep one focused on study. Secondly, while doing self study, there are chances
that one can study incorrectly. Nonetheless, for adults self education is much more
convenient as the classroom may not be in an approachable location or the timing may not
suit them.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, as that there are many barriers to adult
education such as time, money and family commitments, I agree to quite some extent that
self study is a good way for them. However, I would also like to say that the ideal approach
would be to have a blend of self study and classroom learning.
