In the CfEM efficacy trial, students were taught five mastery lessons and teachers adopted mastery approaches in other lessons. The trial found that students of teachers in the full intervention group gained an extra month of learning in comparison to students whose teachers taught them as usual. The most deprived students gained an extra two months of learning.
Teachers in the efficacy trial reported that students found that the lessons encouraged understanding, used a range of representations and made connections and built on students’ prior knowledge, with most respondents suggesting that this was the case all the time or most of the time. About half the respondents reported that their students found the lessons engaging.
