Examining a Mathematical Model of Mastery Learning in a Classroom Setting.

Johnston, Karen L.; Aldridge, Bill G.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v22 n6 p543-54 Sep 1985

This exploratory study determined whether a mathematical model of mastery learning provided a good fit for achievement data obtained from student progress in an introductory, college-level astronomy course for nonmajors. Results provide positive but not compelling evidence that the model of mastery learning is correct. (JN)
