What is Study
Technology?
Study Technology is the term given to the methods L. Ron Hubbard developed to enable individuals to study effectively. It is a methodology that renders the student better able to use and apply what he or she has learned. The “study tech,” as it is sometimes referred to colloquially, can be applied by anyone to the study of any subject.
L. Ron Hubbard recognized the failings of modern education and training in 1950, many years before educational horror stories began to make headlines. He observed that students were simply unable to learn with comprehension. Sometimes they could repeat, parrot-fashion, what they had been taught, but were unable to apply the subject supposedly “learned” with any facility or understanding.
Mr. Hubbard then researched the subject and isolated the actual barriers to effective learning. He found that the problem was not overwork, crammed study schedules or incompetent teachers. He discovered that the impediment to students’ ability to retain and effectively use data was the absence of a technology of how to study. This realization led to a breakthrough: a precise technology on how to overcome these barriers so that real learning can take place. Before then, nobody had realized that there was a lack of an actual technology of how to study.
Study technology is not a gimmicky “quick-study method” that seem to be currently fashionable. It is an exact technology that anyone can use to learn a subject or to acquire a new skill.
