During his research, L. Ron Hubbard made many advances in how best to educate people and these are applied in training services ministered by the Church. He isolated the fundamentals of learning and codified these into a technology of study.
Study technology is a separate field in itself, with application to any subject of learning.
It is used in all Scientology training but is equally useful in the study of any subject. Among elements unique to Scientology course rooms is the Course Supervisor, an expert in the technology of study, adept at locating and handling any barriers or obstacles to understanding which one might encounter. The Supervisor does not lecture, nor in any way add his own rendition of the subject. This point is important because the results obtained in Scientology come only from closely following the technology exactly as written by Mr. Hubbard. The subject has already been researched, tested and well-proven as workable in application.
