A Response to Slavin's Mastery Learning Reconsidered.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloom, Benjamin S. – Review of Educational Research, 1987

Slavin's pessimistic view of mastery learning, based on a selective set of studies that he examined, is countered by the proposition that much research indicates the necessity of this form of teaching to education.
