The idea of competency-based, or mastery, learning has been around for decades, but it has recently been receiving more global attention as a foundation for English language teaching and learning. Because technology use can be integral to the attainment of competency, language teachers who use computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in their…

Convergent intraverbals represent a specific type of intraverbal in which multiple components of one speaker's verbal behavior control a specific verbal response from another speaker (e.g., Speaker 1: What wooly, horned animal lives in the high country? Speaker 2: Bighorn sheep). To foster the development of advanced language, Sundberg and…

The purpose of this action research project was to investigate the impact of a mastery-based grading system on the mindsets of high school students. The mixed methods data collection for this project took place over the course of two years. The students were part of a high achieving and mostly high socio-economic status community. I collected…

The state of Washington, through the Mastery-based Learning work group, is embarking on an exciting journey to reimagine the state's education system. The work group believes that mastery-based learning (MBL) is a way to transform the education system--with this approach, teaching methods are designed to equitably engage each and every student in…

Sequencing items in adaptive learning systems typically relies on a large pool of interactive question items that are analyzed into a hierarchy of skills, also known as Knowledge Components (KCs). Educational data mining techniques can be used to analyze students response data in order to optimize the mapping of items to KCs, with similarity-based…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop a Scaffolded Mastery Learning (ML) module in cell division topic for both teachers and students and study its impacts in teaching and learning process. Method: The study employed Sidek Module Development model in developing the modules. Three expert teachers and ten Form 4 students were involved in…

The mastery of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is very important for teachers in order to achieve qualified learning. Analyzing the mastery of TPACK by teachers in Indonesia seems to be imperative to provide baseline data to Indonesian government. This study aimed to examine the mastery of TPACK, in particular among biology…

In school settings, sources of self-efficacy have the potential to directly and indirectly influence performance. The problem of this study is the direct relationship between sources of self-efficacy and achievement. In connection with this problem, the impact of sources of mathematics self-efficacy on high school senior students' mathematics test…

This quasi-experimental study used a repeated measures design to examine the effects of three manipulated classroom goal structures (i.e. mastery, performance-approach, performance-avoidance) on grammar achievement, perceived autonomy support, flow experience, and affect for 49 Greek elementary school students (ages 11-12; 48% girls). Over a…

Students adopt a wide range of achievement goals in physical education (PE): performance or Self-Enhancing, mastery or Self-Improvement, and Self-Transcendence (ST; improve others' competence). Yet, little is known about how perceptions of physical education teachers' emphasis on ST achievement goals relate to students' achievement goal adoption…

Background: Invention and mastery learning approaches differ in their foundational educational paradigms, proposed mechanisms of learning, and potential impacts on learning outcomes. They also differ in their resource requirements. We explored the relative effects of 'invent and problem-solve, followed by instruction' (PS-I) learning compared to…

This research investigates the effect of different levels of constructivist scaffolding within e-content on undergraduate students' mastery of learning and their attitudes towards it. The research sample involves three experimental groups, each group having thirty (30) students. The first group (Group 1) studied e-content with simple…
