Learning Mathematics in Different Mastery Environments.

Mevarech, Zemira R.

Journal of Educational Research, v84 n4 p225-31 Mar-Apr 1991

Study examined the ways 117 low-socioeconomic third graders interacted during acquisition of new mathematical skills. The effects of cooperative-mastery-learning (CML) strategies on their mathematics achievement were investigated. Two experiments indicated that students exposed to CML performed better than those given more traditional instruction. (SM)
