Mastery Learning

Title: Mastery Learning
Abstract/Description: Over the last four decades, few programs have been implemented as broadly or evaluated as thoroughly as those associated with mastery learning. This article describes how mastery learning originated and the essential elements involved in its implementation. It discusses the improvements in student learning that typically result from the use of mastery learning and how this strategy provides practical solutions to a variety of persistent instructional problems. Finally it explains the common misinterpretations of mastery learning and summarizes the results of research on its effects.
