Explanation
★The concept of mastery learning is credited to Carlton Washburne, so he is the answer.
★Mastery learning holds that almost all students can master a topic if given suitable time and the right conditions.
★Washburne developed this idea, letting each learner move ahead only after fully mastering the present unit.
★Albert Bandura is known for social learning theory, where learning occurs through observation and imitation.
★David Ausubel is known for meaningful receptive learning and the advance organiser, not mastery learning.
★Edward Thorndike is known for the laws of learning under behaviourism, so only Washburne fits mastery learning.
