Mastery Testing and Student Learning: A Meta-Analysis.

Kulik, Chen-Lin C.; Kulik, James A.

Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v15 n3 p325-45 1986-87

This meta-analysis of 49 comparative studies shows that mastery testing has positive effects on student learning, but the size of effect depends on the stringency of the criterion used and the degree of experimental control. The effects of instructional time, student attitudes, and differences in ability levels are also addressed. (Author/LRW)
