Barriers in Difficult Study Environments

There are certain conditions that encourage the act of studying. When there are favourable points in support of how conducive an environment is for studying, more grounds can be covered and zeal does not diminish. But more often than not, the environment is not environment is not only unpalatable but also stifling for any studying to be done. These unpalatable study environments pose serious threat and barriers to the act of studying.

The foremost of the barriers that create seriously difficult study environments is noise. Noise causes the mind to blur and make it extremely difficult to focus. In noisy environments, comprehension is greatly slowed and assimilation starts to crawl. The noise barrier is compounded when there seems to be no way to escape from it due to circumstances beyond the available power to deal with it. To study in a noisy environment is an uphill task and even the most trained mind at ignoring distractions deems this barrier funny at all.

The availability of facilities that help in studying is also a major factor that could pose serious threat to the study process. Studying is often carried out with various instrument, gadgets and materials that aid in understanding the subject matter of concern. When these facilities are not available or are in inadequate quantities, a barrier of epic proportions becomes the most natural result. Lacks of insufficient amount of facilities create a difficult study environment that makes it possible to have an avalanche of excuses for not studying.

Time is of essence in the study process and when it is not in sufficient quantity, studying can never be done effectively well. The barrier of excessive responsibilities eats into the time that could have been used to study. A busy person would always find it difficult to settle down and study because even while studying is going on, a call to duty could interrupt the process. The level of responsibility could be so overwhelming that work must be done even in weekends. This creates a study environment that is frantic, totally unorganized and a fresh recipe for failure.

In some cases, the abuse of places reserved for studying could be the barrier preventing effective studying. Libraries and studying halls that have been converted into talk show studios and common rooms cannot give any assistance to the study process. If the home is not conducive for studying and the places set aside for the purpose of studying cannot deliver on its reason for existing, a very hostile study environment is in order. The abuse of places reserved for studying forces many who want to study to do so furtively – always looking up, down and around periodically. How difficult can it get to study in that kind of an environment?

Security and the assurance of safety make for a great point on how it could easily become a study barrier and create a difficult study environment. In places where the security of lives and properties is not taken seriously, studying would be done in the proverbial “one eye closed, one eye open” way. This kind of study environment makes it difficult to get in tune with the material studied and thus unnecessarily prolong study time.

The excessive and ubiquitous availability of various means of having fun and relaxing could numb the mind and its zeal to study. Study environments that are filled to the brim with fun and play compounds the problem of indecision and inadequate sense of responsibility in studying.

There could be too many projects and assignments that almost no tangible studying is done. Environments where emphasis is placed on mini-projects and assignments could be hazardous to studying. This barrier makes studying and preparation for examinations, a running on the mil and read to forget task.

Extremely short sessions are a barrier that creates a difficult study environment for slow learners. When a session is so short, there is hardly enough time to grasp the essence and message in the materials studied.

Workload and mountainous volumes of books could pose a barrier to the faint of heart to study. The mere sight of a large textbook could make anyone who is not sufficiently determined to not study. In our schools today, the things that must be learned and mastered is continuously increasing and at a geometric rate. This creates an environment where so many things with unhelpful ease of comprehension must be learned.

Demotivating instructors may turn an otherwise good study environment into a difficult one. Untrained and incompetent instructors make the study process more difficult. Studying in an environment where instructors are ill-motivated and lazy make the study process arduous and daunting.

The barriers could go on and on and in most cases, some are even subjective. But in all, many things could easily turn an otherwise excellent study environment into a nightmare.
