Results Shine Through in Statistics
Beyond the United States, Study Technology has been successfully implemented around the world. One brief example hails from Brixton, England where two groups of 12 pupils each (age range 8.6 to 13.3) were given initial and terminal reading tests using the Daniels and Diack standard reading tests. One group was then given a very short course in reading skills (8-10 hours over 12 days) based on Applied Scholastics techniques and materials. The other group continued their normal studies. Increase in reading ability of 1.29 years average gain occurred in pupils who were given the Applied Scholastics-based course, while no significant change in reading ability occurred in those who did not do the course.
The Study Technology Training Program was introduced to Zimbabwe in 1994. Warmly received by education officials, it soon demonstrated the vital role it would play in upgrading the quality of education. By mid-2003, Applied Scholastics representatives trained 15,000 teachers in eleven districts, reaching more than 600,000 children. As one teacher wrote, "The Study Technology workshop has opened up avenues to better learning environments. This will go a long way in sharpening teacher skills so as to work productively towards sustainable development." More than 90 percent of the teachers saw an improvement in literacy and comprehension when they were trained in the Study Technology of L. Ron Hubbard. It was found that the training has a significant impact on the teachers' motivation and confidence, enabling them to be more self-sufficient in overcoming the difficulties facing them in everyday teaching. And in 2002, an additional 3,700 teachers were trained-the first step in a plan to train all 90,000 Zimbabwean teachers in Study Technology.
In the first part of 1999, the staff of World Literacy Crusade in Compton, California delivered a Study Technology program at the Lindbergh Elementary School to help improve literacy levels. Students were taught in a group for an hour a day after school. The Wide Range Achievement Test for reading was given at the start of the project and again at the end. Scores are presented as reading age equivalent in grade and months (6.4 = 6th grade, 4th month).
Centerville Junior High School
Before After In Centerville Junior High School, the Academic Skills teacher now uses Study Skills for Life to teach Study Technology to children in her classes. The school counselor is utilizing Study Technology to construct curriculum and teach science and Utah studies. By November 2001, the results of Study Technology were starting to show throughout the school.
St. Antoine's Elementary School
As a result of the success of one second grade teacher, the principal invited Applied Scholastics back to train all the second grade teachers in Study Technology. the chart above shows the change in the California Achievement Test results of the second grade classes before and after Study Technology. This is the first time the school has ever achieved a rating higher than 30 percent at this level.
Ball Elementary - TAAS Scores
Here are some results seen at Ball elementary School after teachers received instruction in how to use Study Technology to teach elementary mathematics. This instruction was delivered over several days, being the largest portion of additional training the teachers received. The test given is the TAAS (a Texas standardized test) and the chart above shows the results on third graders, indication the change that occurred in 1999 after introducing Study Technology, This elementary school is ranked as "low performing" by the state of Texas, based on their test scores. They also serve a very low socioeconomic population with many as-risk children in the school.
