## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
A study group can make a difficult book easier to understand, it can succeed
|
||||
where an unsatisfying class fails, and it can support you if your environment
|
||||
doesn't support your ongoing learning and growth.
|
||||
|
||||
A study group is a collection of individuals who meet regularly to improve
|
||||
their understanding of some non-trivial subject, like a body of great literature,
|
||||
by participating in dialogue.
|
||||
|
||||
The authors and architects of the original pattern language understood that
|
||||
individuals vary in how they obtain knowledge. Some don’t have a lot of time
|
||||
and want to gain knowledge as fast as possible. Others prefer to extract as
|
||||
much knowledge as they can by pondering a work’s every paragraph and
|
||||
page. Still others prefer to study a work’s visual elements–its photographs
|
||||
and sketches–before diving into the words.
|
||||
|
||||
There are 21 patterns in this pattern language. They are grouped into four
|
||||
sections called Spirit, Atmosphere, Roles, and Customs. As you study the
|
||||
patterns from each section, consider the structure of this language: **the
|
||||
patterns from the Spirit section, at the beginning of the language, help to
|
||||
define the study group's core, its spirit of learning. The patterns that follow
|
||||
this section, in Atmosphere, Roles and Customs, are all intimately tied to the
|
||||
earliest core patterns and serve to re-enforce them**.

|

### 1.1 Knowledge Hydrant
|
||||
|
||||
> . . . where can one obtain knowledge in its fullest, unfiltered, unsimplified, form?
|
||||
|
||||
This ignorance about great literature is widespread. It exists today primarily
|
||||
because several important ideas about great literature have been forgotten.
|
||||
These include some of the following facts:
|
||||
|
||||
- The hard work put into the study of great literature is worthwhile because
|
||||
it ensures that people retain the knowledge they wish to obtain
|
||||
- Great literature is much easier to understand when it is studied in an
|
||||
intelligent sequence ([4.2 SEQUENTIAL STUDY](#42-sequential-study))
|
||||
- It is easier and more rewarding to study great literature with other people ([1.2 POOL OF INSIGHT)](#12-pool-of-insight))
|
||||
|
||||
**Discover the great literature in your profession or area of
|
||||
interest—the finest books, articles, and speeches ever
|
||||
written—and then begin an earnest study of these works.**
|
||||
|
||||
So how do you find the great literature worthy of study? Ask people. Ask
|
||||
knowledgeable people which authors they like, what are their favorite books,
|
||||
what profoundly influenced them?
|
||||
|
||||
After identifying the works, form or join a study group ([1.2 POOL OF INSIGHT](#12-pool-of-insight)), order the works
|
||||
to be studied ([4.2 SEQUENTIAL STUDY](#42-sequential-study)), and compose an [4.3 AGENDA](#43-agenda).
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Pool of Insight
|
||||
|
||||
> . . . once you've discovered your [KNOWLEDGE HYDRANT](#11-knowledge-hydrant), it can be overwhelming to drink from it. This pattern suggests how to make the study
|
||||
of great literature easier and more rewarding.
|
||||
|
||||
**To obtain the fullest understanding of great literature--to penetrate its
|
||||
meaning – it is tremendously helpful to read and study a work on one's own
|
||||
and then engage in meaningful dialogue on the work with others.**
|
||||
|
||||
In dialogue, people get the chance to learn from themselves and from their
|
||||
colleagues. In communicating how they understand something, people may:
|
||||
|
||||
- clarify what confused others
|
||||
- expose their own misunderstandings
|
||||
- reveal new ideas
|
||||
- articulate that which they didn't know they knew
|
||||
|
||||
There is a spirit present in dialogues that one doesn't
|
||||
find in many other learning environments. Frequent meetings help sustain this
|
||||
spirit. **When a group doesn't meet frequently, it can struggle to keep its
|
||||
momentum and enthusiasm**; lively subjects and debates can fade between
|
||||
meetings, and if people miss just one meeting, they will be absent for a very
|
||||
long period. **Many groups sustain a group's spirit by meeting weekly or
|
||||
biweekly**.
|
||||
|
||||
Group study also helps motivate people to learn, especially when they are no
|
||||
longer officially "in school." A reading assignment every week or every other
|
||||
week can help individuals continue to learn while balancing work and family
|
||||
life.
|
||||
|
||||
**Read and study literature on one's own, but discuss it with
|
||||
others in a regular study group. Aim to ask questions about
|
||||
what you don't know and explain what you do know. Your
|
||||
exchanges with colleagues will enrich your understanding
|
||||
immensely.**
|
||||
|
||||
The best study groups are those in which individuals feel comfortable
|
||||
learning with others ([1.3 SAFE PLACE](#13-safe-place)).
|
||||
|
||||
Atmosphere plays an important role in a dialogue. Some environments
|
||||
promote dialogues ([2.1 COMMON GROUND](#21-common-ground), [2.2 PUBLIC LIVING ROOM](#22-public-living-room))
|
||||
and some don't.
|
||||
|
||||
The most enriching study happens when a group has a [MOTIVATED
|
||||
MODERATOR](#32-motivated-moderator) and [PREPARED PARTICIPANTS](#34-prepared-participant)...
