Effects of Accountability on Students' Achievement in Mastery Learning.
Ritchie, Donn; Thorkildsen, Ron
Journal of Educational Research, v88 n2 p86-90 Nov-Dec 1994

Four classes were randomly assigned to two treatments (those who were and were not aware of participation in mastery learning). Results revealed standardized mean differences for achievement favoring knowledge of being in the mastery learning program. (SM)
