mastery learning

Mastery learning is an educational approach where students focus on thoroughly understanding a subject before moving forward. Instead of progressing just by completing tasks, they continue practicing until they demonstrate clear proficiency. This method emphasizes quality over speed, ensuring that foundational skills are solid, which helps improve overall learning and confidence. It's like practicing a sport until you master a skill rather than just trying it a few times. This approach encourages personalized pacing and supports all learners in achieving high-level competence before advancing.
