Notes The only objective of the first step is that how to achieve a particular student learning plan. The second

step has two objectives.
1. Select the lesson plan and submit it.
2. To control students’ responses.
Computer searches appropriate instructional objectives for the attainment of the students’ learning plan
according to their entering-behavior. Instructional searching may have one of the three results given
below
1. Can choose a learning plan.
2. Can choose more than one learning plan.
3. Cannot select any lesson plan. If more than one plan is selected then more economical plan is

followed in terms of time. It is more difficult when computer doesn’t find any plan and no change

in the behavior of students can be brought about any instruction because his entering behavior is not
sufficient. For him pre-exercise may be made to raise the level of behavior. He could fi nd computer

instruction only if he has enough entering behavior.
Computer aided instruction used by the low levels of cognitive side objectives (knowledge,
comprehension and application) can be achieved. Affective side cannot be developed. Different
instructions are presented together for students having various entering behavior.

7.4 Mastery Learning Strategy

Mastery Learning Strategy was developed by B.S. Bloom. It is considered as an instructional strategy.
It is used to develop mastery learning and to achieve teaching objectives. Under normal classroom—
teaching, reinforcement techniques, corrective and personal learning errors are included. Weak students
of a subject are given extra time too. In this way this scheme of Bloom is considered as Group-based
Instruction. Remedial teaching is done in the following. Bloom’s Ownership learning method is used to
follow the steps below:
1. Course of teaching and learning is divided into units.
2. It is identified by the learning unit of Instructional objectives that what objective will be achieved.

The format of learning achievements is tried to understand.

3. The level of ownership is fixed by keeping each learning unit and its objective in mind. Its calculation
is based on the number of terms of formative test. Ownership level should be 80 to 85 per cent.
4. Each learning unit should be taught in general classroom teaching. This learning is done collectively.
This step is similar to traditional teaching.
5. The number of students who have acquired ownership level is recorded by means of achievement
test. Such students are enforced for further studies. Students who could not obtain ownership level,
they are given diagnostic test, which contain information about students learning diffi culties.
