Who among the following has given the concept of mastery learning?

ACarlton Washburne ✓ Correct
BAlbert Bandura
CDavid Ausubel
DEdward Thorndike
Correct answer: (A) Carlton Washburne
Explanation

Carlton Washburne gave the concept of mastery learning through the Winnetka Plan of the 1920s.

Mastery learning holds that almost all students can master content if given enough time and suitable conditions.

Washburne's Winnetka Plan let pupils progress at their own pace only after mastering each unit.

Benjamin Bloom later developed this into Learning for Mastery, but the original concept traces to Washburne.

Albert Bandura is linked to social learning, not mastery learning.

David Ausubel gave meaningful receptive learning and Edward Thorndike gave the laws of learning, both different concepts.
