Abstract
The purpose of this study is to showcase the modern form of education known as Mastery Based Learning and the goal of this form of education. Purposeful selection will be used to complete a qualitative study. The Mastery Based Learning study is being conducted to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the modern style of learning. When this article refers to a modern form of education, it is in terms of modern technological learning styles. This style of learning offers a focused approach that allows the students to work at their own pace, giving them the opportunity to retain the knowledge for further use. Students will be focusing on mastery skills needed to succeed in everyday life. These skills consist of analyzing a problem, devising a plan to find a solution to the problem, implementing a plan, and revising and reflecting on the work. The intended outcome of Mastery Based Learning is for students to walk away with a stronger foundation in comprehension and communication and problem-solving skills that are needed to succeed in life after high school. This transformation strives to close both the opportunity gap and resulting achievement gap that creates an environment where each student has a unique style of learning. Being able master the learning material is important to enhance the student’s retained knowledge to prepare them for life after this class.
