Isn the Study Tech an instrument for indoctrination?
Define your terms. Indoctrination means two things, (1) To instruct in a body of knowledge, and (2) to teach to accept a system of beliefs or convictions uncritically. The Study Technology as presented can certainly accomplish the first one. It can also be misused (as any technology can) to bring about the last. We have included several chapters in data evaluation, logic, and conceptual understanding that should make it impossible to “indoctrinate” (in meaning 2) a student. On the contrary it is stressed throughout the manual that understanding, application, and ultimately results are the only valid tests the student should accept.
