Effective Mastery Learning in the Era of Generative AI

Presented by Associate Professor Claudia Szabo (The University of Adelaide)

Thursday 26 June 2025, 8.00 – 9.00 AM (ACST)

Hosted by UniSA’s Teaching Innovation Unit

ABSTRACT: The application of mastery learning,  where students progress through their learning in a self-paced manner until they have mastered specific concepts, is considered appealing for teaching introductory programming courses. Despite its growing popularity in computing and its extensive use in other disciplines, there is no overview of the design of courses that use mastery learning. In this talk, I present five mastery learning models and discuss examples of how these can be applied in practice, both in foundational programming as well as more advanced courses. A case study of a mastery learning implementation in a foundation programming course is presented in detail. We then proceed with a look into the very near future with a discussion on the challenges of implementing mastery learning in the era of Generative AI, where the availability and ease of use of Generative AI solutions can be at odds with the principles of implementing this pedagogy.
