Survey on Mastery Learning

Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Circle your answer.

1.  Differences in learning are due to a lack of variation in instruction.

Completely agree --- somewhat agree --- somewhat disagree --- completely disagree


2.  Variation in teaching strategies and methods leads to similar levels of achievement for all learners.

Completely agree --- somewhat agree --- somewhat disagree --- completely disagree


3.  Classroom assessments often do little more than identify for whom the teacher’s instructional method is appropriate. 

Completely agree --- somewhat agree --- somewhat disagree --- completely disagree


4.  End of unit assessments should prescribe remediation procedures, not just measure achievement.

Completely agree --- somewhat agree --- somewhat disagree --- completely disagree


5.  For feedback to be effective, it must be paired with correctives, activities that offer guidance and direction on how to remedy learning problems. 

Completely agree --- somewhat agree --- somewhat disagree --- completely disagree



If you agree with these statements, you agree with the basic principles behind mastery learning. To learn more about Benjamin Bloom's model of instruction, see this link.
