PurposeThe purpose of this paper is fivefold: to identify the various results of previous empirical studies on the effect of mastery learning and students achievement in Nigeria schools; determine the effect size for each of the studies examined; determine the mean effect size of the overall studies examined; find out the mean effect size of studies that examined the effect of gender on academic achievement in mastery learning strategy; and determine the mean effect size of studies that examined the effect of school locations on academic achievements using mastery learning strategy.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted survey research design using theex postfacto procedure. This study being meta-analytical used already existing data (research results). The sample of research reports included both published and unpublished research reports on the effects of mastery learning on students’ academic achievements in Nigeria between 1980 and 2016. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique in selecting the sample. This was to ensure that studies: were centered on mastery learning and students’ academic achievements; were carried out in Nigeria; appeared in published and unpublished literature between 1980 and 2016; have the statistical values of the research results of each independent variable to be considered (e.g.t-test values,χ2values and correlation values).FindingsThe study revealed that the mean effect size for all the studies was 0.536, indicating a positive mean effect size. The strategy, thus, has a significant effect on students’ achievements. School location, also, did not mediate in the use of the strategy.Practical implicationsBased on the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made: teachers should use this teaching strategy to enhance students’ achievements in difficult concepts in different subject areas. Since the result of this study has shown that the strategy has positive and large effect size, government and school proprietors should, with the collaboration of higher institutions concerned with teacher education, endeavor to organize seminars and workshops to serving teachers to enable them embrace effectively the principles and processes of implementing the strategy in the classroom. Since the result of this study has established the size of the effect of mastery learning strategy on the academic achievements, subsequent researchers should no longer direct their efforts in determining its effects on academic achievements but on the ways of improving the use of the strategy in teaching at all levels of education.Originality/valueAvailable literature has shown that though most previous research findings revealed that mastery learning approach has an effect on academic achievements of students, no efforts have been made toward resolving the inconsistencies of those results by integrating them and establishing the extent of the effect of the strategy on academic achievements. This study, therefore, was designed to fill these gaps created by the non-existence of integrated studies on effects of mastery learning and academic achievements of students in Nigerian schools.

The background of this research was the low achievement of the students, which revealed the number of the students who did not pass the standard of Javanese Language score was 100%. The objective of this research was to enhance the students’ achievement in puppet story material, Bima Bungkus and Nggoleki Gung Susuhe Angin through active knowledge sharing strategy using puppet media. The subjects of this research were the fourth grade students of SD Negeri Kalikidang with the number of the students were 32, which were 15 students of them were male while 17 students of them were female. This research was a classroom action research that involved two cycles. Each cycle included two meetings. The implementation of each cycle involved planning, implementing, observing and reflecting. The data collection tools used were observation sheet of teacher activity, observation sheet of students’ activity and student evaluation sheet. The students’ improvement could be seen in each cycle. The indicator of students’ learning achievement was the enhancement of learning achievement at least 75% from the number of students who passed the minimum criteria of mastery learning (KKM) of Javanese Language, which was 70. The students’ achievement in the first cycle was 70.31% whereas the second cycle was 82.45%. From the findings, it can be concluded that the learning strategy of active knowledge sharing using puppet media was able to make students became more active in the teaching process. Therefore, it enhanced the students’ achievement in puppet story material, Bima Bungkus and Nggoleki Gung Susuhe Angin at the fourth grade students of SD Negeri Kalikidang, Sokaraja Sub-distric, Banyumas District.

The need to alleviate the difficulties of abstraction and improve students’ achievement in Physical Geography informed this research. This study investigated the Effects of Mastery Learning Strategy and Learning Retention on Senior Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Physical Geography. The study adopted the quasi experimental non-equivalent pre-test, post-test control group design. The Multi-stage sampling technique at four levels was used to select four co-educational secondary schools in Ganye Educational Zone in Nigeria. The sample for the study was 218 Senior Secondary School two (SS II) students offering Geography from four intact classes in the four selected secondary schools. The instrument used for data collection was “Physical Geography Achievement and Retention Test” (PGART). The reliability of the instrument was established using Kendall tau b statistic. This gave a reliability index of 0.74. Data collected were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and t-Test. The results showed that Mastery Learning Strategy has the potentials to improve students’ learning outcomes, retention and achievement in all spheres of cognitive domain in Physical Geography better than the Conventional Method. Hence the need to incorporate this teaching strategy during instruction so that learners would be guided to learn meaningfully and be assisted to retain content learnt in Geography.
