An Exploration of Two Correction Procedures Used in Mastery Learning Approaches to Instruction

Block, James H.; Tierney, Michael L.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 6, 962-967, Dec 74

The impact of male and female college students' grades, achievement, and attitudes of the respective "correction" procedures used in Bloom- and Keller-type mastery learning strategies was investigated. Findings indicate periodic corrections, using Bloom's strategy, may improve students' ability to apply course material. (Author/BJG)
