Abstract
Specifically,
mastery learning is a method whereby students are not advanced to a subsequent
learning objective until they demonstrate proficiency with the current one. Mastery
learning may be implemented as teacher-paced group instruction, one-to-one
tutoring, or self-paced learning with programmed materials. It may involve
direct teacher instruction, cooperation with classmates, or independent
learning. It requires well-defined learning objectives organized into smaller,
sequentially organized units. Individualized instruction, has some elements in
common with mastery learning, although it dispenses with group activities, in
favor of allowing more able or more motivated students to progress ahead of
others and maximizing teacher interaction with those students who need the most
assistance.
