Overfilled class-sizes, economic disadvantages and “learning disorders” are common. Yet underlying all of this, there are three barriers that keep one from successfully studying a subject. Despite all that has been written on the subject of study, these three barriers were never isolated as having such importance in effective education.
This is not attention deficit disorder, emotional problems or stupidity at work. This is the emotional or physical reaction a student of any age will experience when encountering one of these barriers to learning.
Students fail to learn because no one has ever taught them how to learn — how to identify the barriers to learning and how to overcome them.
What are the three barriers to learning? The answer is found in Study Technology, central to which is the delineation of these barriers to study. Never before recognized, these yet constitute the reasons for educational failures.
The Knowledge Booster is a licensed Applied Scholastics™ tutoring group. We utilize Study Technology as the foundation to improving students general ability to study as well as increasing their abilities in specific subjects. Study Technology is a learning system that produces a greatly improved result when used exactly (by “Technology” is meant methods of application to obtain a specific result). L. Ron Hubbard, American educator, developed Study Technology to help students truly understand what they study and essentially learn how to learn. Study Technology is the basis of all Applied Scholastics™ programs and teaching methods.
Study Technology consists of tools and techniques teachers can use to improve the learning rates of their students. It can be used by students to improve their ability to understand and use the materials they read and study.
Study Technology is not a collection of study tips or memory tricks, but rather a system of learning how to learn. Using Study Technology brings about an understanding that results in the ability to apply what one learns at school, in one’s work and in life.
Study Technology is something new in the field of education. It is the spearhead to a bright new world of understanding and achievement, and it forms the basis of the success of all Applied Scholastics™ educational programs.
