Mastery Learning: The Effects of Time Constraints and Unit Mastery Requirements.

Miller, John W.; Ellsworth, Randy

Educational Research Quarterly, v4 n4 p40-48 Win 1979

Undergraduate education majors participated in a mastery learning situation (unlimited retesting and relearning until the end of the semester) or a modified mastery situation (only two trials per unit allowed). Higher levels of prior achievement and the modified mastery approach were associated with greater learning and retention. (GDC)
