Project Type IQP Submission date 2009-05-05 Authors Ricardo Jose Madera, CS Yuan Shi, johnshi@WPI.EDU, ECE Yi Wang, CS Mihajlo Zeljkovic, mihajlo@WPI.EDU, CS URN E-project-050509-171031 Division Education in a Technological Society Title Mastery Learning Leads to Better Learning: 7th Grade Advisor Heffernan, Neil, CS Availability unrestricted Abstract
This Interactive Qualifying Project is an experiment project designed to analyze the relationship between mathematical test performance and the amount of mathematical practices a student undertakes. The proposed hypothesis is that there exists a positive proportional relationship between students' mathematical performance and the amount of practices the students complete. By analyzing the results obtained from the experiment, we found a reliable difference of the performance gains between the control and experiment (mastery) groups. Therefore, we conclude that there does indeed exists a positive proportional relationship between students' mathematical performance and the amount of practices they complete. In other words, mastery learning leads to better learning.
