| Abstract: |
The article comments on author Robert E. Slavin's mastery learning method. It urges that the implementation of this method in teaching and learning in the U.S. will require a careful assessment by both friends and critics. In addition, the mastery learning feedback-corrective process, which will be given to the students, include a formative test, a corrective instruction, and a parallel formative test. Further, it argues with Slavin that the author's claim about the 2 sigma results for mastery learning is not true. |
