Study Technology – Empowering Students of All Ages
School can and should be rewarding for all students.
We have all known students for whom this is not true, or at least not as true as
it should be. Students left trying to get through new studies while having mounds
of poorly understood and not-understood material from previous studies find so little
rewarding about school that they eventually stop showing up.
Today there is really no excuse for this.
With what is now known about learning and teaching, no student should be lost along
the way. This know-how is contained in Study Technology (Study Tech), an educational
philosophy and a practical approach to teaching and learning based on research and
developments by American writer and educator L. Ron Hubbard during the second half
of the twentieth century.
Study Technology is not some obscure collection of study tips or memory tricks,
but is an understanding of how to study and how to actually learn. It is a knowledge
of how to apply this data to help any student of any age learn anything he or she
wants.
Study Tech and Students
With the youngest students, Study Technology is an approach to teaching used by
teachers to help students know why they are learning something and to learn it for
themselves. This is miraculous in feeding young children’s natural passion
to learn—the most valuable asset of children (and schools).
As children in this frame of mind roar up through their school levels, the whole
effect is made more powerful by fully letting the students themselves in on the
"secret"— Study Tech as their own personal tool. With Study Tech,
they have the ability to spot when some aspect of their studies is going off the
rails or slowing down, and what is more important, they know what to do about it.
Study Technology at Delphi Academy
Starting in the early levels, every Delphi student eventually learns all the tools
about how to learn. They become their own Study Tech experts. Understanding the
fundamentals of the learning process itself, they discover that any lack of success
in learning can be traced back to causes they can control. They learn why some students
are self-motivated and some aren't. They learn the early-warning signs for lack
of comprehension and an inability to apply what they are learning. Moreover, as
they become increasingly expert with Study Tech, they learn exact actions to take
to resolve these difficulties and keep themselves on track. And along the way, their
teachers are always at hand offering new challenge, good source materials and any
help they need to stay aloft.
As they grow up, students acquire the ability to study any subject effectively and
independently. Study Tech is a powerful tool that gradually allows students of all
ages to take genuine control of their own education and, ultimately, their futures.
Empowering students with an ability to study is an investment that pays off for
a lifetime.
