Mastery learning is an instructional approach that requires students to fully comprehend a lesson before moving on to the next one. It allows students to progress at their own pace, ensuring thorough understanding of the material.

Student-paced mastery, also known as mastery learning, is an instructional approach that allows students to progress at their own pace. Mastery ensures that students fully understand a lesson before moving on. In this approach, students only advance to the next skill or lesson when they have shown they are ready. 

Some benefits of student-paced mastery:

• Prevent learning gaps – Students build a solid foundation of skills before moving on to more complex learning tasks. 

• Build confidence – Students develop confidence and self-esteem as they progress through the material. 

• Individualized learning – Students can focus on what they need the most and work with teachers one-on-one or in small groups. 

• Rethink learning – Student-paced mastery can help reframe what learning looks like. 

Teachers provide guidance to help students stay on track while closing gaps.
