    The document summarizes Bloom's research into different instructional models: conventional learning, mastery learning, and tutoring. It finds that tutoring leads to a 2 sigma, or two standard deviation, increase in student achievement compared to conventional learning. However, tutoring is too costly. Therefore, mastery learning aims to close this achievement gap by incorporating feedback, corrective procedures, and formative testing into conventional large class instruction to mimic the benefits of small group tutoring.
