Approach to mastery learning in a chemistry base course
Sergio Anthoine-Dietrich, Ezio Cardani, Raffaele Pentimalli
Paper of the national journal ‘La Chimica nella scuola’ (‘Chemistry in the school’)
Italian
The paper describes the results obtained relating to chemistry of the mastery learning method in a secondary school class. It is a technique that provides for the subdivision of scientific contents into units, the distribution of tests at the end of each unit and the use of didactic techniques to eventually fill gaps. Despite the limited quantity of data collected, the method gave good results in terms of the improvement in results.
The paper describes in detail a method that seems not to be very complex, being based on the subdivision of contents and the distribution of tests.
The Journal is available on-line from 1999
