Role of Self-Studies in Promoting Learning among Students at University Level
Role of Self-Studies in Promoting Learning among Students
Keywords:
Self-studies, Promoting Learning, University LevelAbstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and impact of self-studies on learning among students at the Mansoura University, Egypt. The study utilized a survey method and was descriptive in nature. The population of the study comprised all 836 students in the University Development Center, with a sample size of 220 students selected using simple random sampling technique. A five-point Likert Scale questionnaire was used to collect data on the role and impact of self-studies on learning. The collected data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), with simple mean, frequency, and percentage used for the analysis. The findings suggest that incorporating critical thinking into daily lessons and encouraging students to take responsibility for their own learning can enhance self-studies. It is recommended that further research should be conducted to better understand how students perceive responsibility for their own learning to create a conducive learning environment in the classroom. Additionally, sports activities can also be used to develop physical strength in students.
