• Mastery learning is a system of instruction that
  seeks to enable all students to achieve
  instructional objectives by allowing learning
  time to vary as needed.
• Mastery learning is seen as a solution to the
  problem of individual differences in children.
• The basic idea behind mastery learning is to make
  sure that all or almost all students have learned
  a particular skill to a pre-established level of
  mastery before moving to the next skill.

  activities at their own pace without feeling held
  back or pushed by other classmates.

  attention on their students behavior and views
  instruction as a task of shaping student
  behavior.
