    Mastery-based learning is an educational approach where students advance based on demonstrating mastery of objectives, not seat time. It has roots in the 1960s but is seeing renewed interest. Mastery learning allows students to learn at their own pace and ensures they have mastered basics before advancing. While research on outcomes is limited, mastery learning may improve outcomes compared to traditional grading and has potential benefits. Implementation requires measurable objectives, assessments, data sharing, and support for students who have not yet mastered objectives. Mastery-based approaches are increasingly popular but questions remain around evaluating complex skills.
