Applied Scholastics is a secular, non- profit, tax – exempt, educational organization. It was established by American educator in 1972 to promote programs of effective education for educators, business trainers, tutors, parents, children and people in all walks of life who need improved study skills to enhance their scholastic, business and personal activities.

 

We are not just interested in good ideas to improve education. We want to see these ideas in action in classrooms and all educational settings- schools, homes, business, anywhere where people are seeking knowledge and skill.

Applied Scholastics mission is to reverse this entire decay of the twentieth century education by training teachers, tutors, parents, business trainers and anyone who teaches others in the missing steps in education.

 

The Study Technology researched and developed by L. Ron Hubbard is a unique program enabling a student to overcome the basic barriers to study, exact methodology for studying any subject, so that he can understand and retain the data which he is trying to absorb and can effectively put into application the material which he has been studying.

 

Study Technology is an exact system which teaches on “How to Learn”. It includes the identification of the specific barriers to learning, the tools to help a student grasp the material being studied, and the means to organize the basic learning environment toward the attainment of better results for both the students and teacher. It can be used to create a highly efficient and self paced learning environment. Understanding and application are the watchwords of Study Technology.

  

STUDY TECHNOLOGY GIVES THE STUDENTS THE TECHNIQUES AND UNDERSTANDING, WHICH ENABLE HIM TO TAKE INCREASED RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL OF HIS OWN LEARNING PROCESS.

  

Students who learn and apply Study Technology consistently achieve remarkable improvements in their scholastic progress. Numerous studies have demonstrated these results.

 

In Mexico City, for example, Study Technology was introduced into a private high school in which one class had a 95% failure rate on their material. After the students learned to use Study Technology, the same class achieved a 90% pass rate.

 

A study undertaken in England found that students improved their reading levels by 1.3 years after only ten hours of study using Mr. Hubbard’s study procedures.

A literacy program in South Africa produced an average gain in reading level of 2.25 years. In the same country, the pass rate of students enrolled in 19 government schools increased from 43 to 78 percent after the Study Technology had been in use for only six months.

 

Also in Southern Africa, Education Alive, an Applied Scholastics affiliated organization, introduced Study Technology into a teacher’s college. The drop- out rate for teacher trainees fell dramatically, to only 2 percent, as a direct and immediate result of the program.

 

In Los Angeles, students at a school which uses Study Technology throughout its curriculum regularly score 30 percent above the national average on the national Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT), and fourth grade students in that school’s program consistently score two or more grade levels above the norm in reading, math and language on the nationally recognized California Achievement Test. Such results are all the more dramatic when viewed against the trend in California public schools which was recently found to have fallen to the third worst state school system in the United States (with California third graders only scoring better than those from Guam and Mississippi on a recent national test).

 Are Applied Scholastics programs only for children or for those with low education levels?

The answer to both questions is “No” Applied Scholastics programs service both adults and youth, they provide the vitally needed technology of how to study effectively to people at a wide range of educational levels. True, Applied Scholastics programs are often established to provide education and literacy skills to portions of the population which have been systematically excluded from such knowledge due to the decay of school systems.  Person’s seeking to learn a non – native language find that Study Technology helps them to open this door.

 Academically advanced students – such as those in college and universities – find Study Technology invaluable as they grapple with the extensive and often complex materials in their chosen courses of study.

 

Numerous businesses around the world have found Applied Scholastics affiliated programs to be essential in educating their blue and white- collar labor forces and in stabilizing and raising the company productivity.

 

More information about Study Technology:-

 

Study technology as an application allows students to become more responsible and accountable as students.

 

Educators trained in Study Technology have stated that their students learn faster and can apply what they learn. Inability to follow directions, dropout, lack of cooperation and other problems disappear from the classroom.

 

Applied Scholastics training for educators is interactive and emphasizes drilling, practical application and the acquisition and use of communication skills.

 

Each trainee moves through a course of study at his or her own speed, receiving individual attention as he or she goes along, and remains on study until training objectives are achieved. Each graduate has acquired skills and tools essential for an optimum teaching and learning process.

 

Study technology allows for the total comprehension of any subject by any student. It is not surprising then that educators are availing themselves of the opportunity to learn this technology. Study Technology is employed throughout the world in:

 

-          Teacher training and professional development,

-          Early childhood development and community literacy,

-          As well as job readiness and workforce development.

  

In order to meet the growing demand for services, Applied scholastics has established its international training campus, along with its international headquarters, in the Spanish lake area of St. Louis, Missouri and having a network of more than 500 private schools, community groups and tutoring centers in 53 countries on 6 continents around the world.

 

The purpose of this campus is the training and professional development of public and private school educators to implement study technology in their schools and universities. As well, programs are offered that uniquely suited to corporate trainers, tutors, and leaders involved in youth development and other community betterment.

 

Parts of this body of work, Mr. Hubbard isolated and then codified  the only three barriers to learning any subject that at any age student will experience. He also identified the physical and mental reactions a student will experience when they run into one of these barriers to learning.

 

Misunderstood words are the root of stupidity, it is why people do odd things with orders, why students lack aptitude in their subjects and cannot do anything with them. A misunderstood word can stop you from being able to do anything at all.

 

 Conclusion:

 

The mission of Applied Scholastics encompasses making these vital tools available to all who wish to learn and to teach effectively, to ensuring that comprehension by students is achieved thus answering accountability necessities and to widely provide the vital skills of learning so as to close the academic achievement gap.

Once the people know how to handle the barriers and difficulties while studying, he can learn anything he wants to learn and he can learn for life. The sky is the limit.

 By “Learning How to Learn” course ourselves and teaching others this technology, we can reverse the downward spiral of education in our times.
