What is Mastery Learning ?
Mastery learning (ML) is an educational philosophy & practice. Mastery-based learning places the emphasis on mastery rather than seat-time, which generally leads to higher proficiency and engagement levels for all learners- 98% of the learners* in the one-to-one mastery-based situation performed as well as the average learner in the traditional setting.
Mastery Learning maintains that given enough time to students according to their needs, all students have the potential achieve subject of mastery.
In mastery learning, there is a shift in responsibilities, so that student's failure is more due to the instruction and not necessarily lack of ability on his or her part. Therefore, in a Mastery Learning environment, the challenge becomes providing enough time and employing instructional strategies so that all students can achieve the same level of learning.
*1984 educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom report in his famous 2 Sigma Problem paper in published in ‘Educational Researcher’ All students have the potential to succeed. All they needs is an opportunity to learn in their own way, at their own pace and skill level
Conventional Learning(Uniform Instructional Environment)
| Outcome | Aptitude | Achievement |
| Student A | Below Average | Average |
| Student B | Below Average | Average |
Outcome: Performance is in accordance with the aptitude*
Mastery Learning
(Optimal Instructional Environment)
| Outcome | Aptitude | Achievement |
| Student A | Below Average | Average |
| Student B | Average | Above Average |
Outcome: Performance is disproportionately higher for majority of the students
98% of the students perform to their optimal potential
