The Mastery Learning Strategy is a learning approach oriented towards achieving comprehensive student competencies before they move on to the next material or learning stage. This approach is based on the assumption that every student has the potential to succeed, provided they are given the appropriate time, methods, and guidance. In its application, Mastery Learning emphasizes systematic learning planning, the establishment of clear learning objectives, and ongoing evaluation to measure the level of student mastery. Students who have not yet achieved competency standards will receive corrective feedback and remedial activities, while students who have completed them will be provided with enrichment programs to deepen their understanding. With this mechanism, learning gaps can be minimized so as not to hinder the learning process in the next stage. Furthermore, this strategy encourages individualized, structured, and measurable learning according to student needs. Therefore, the implementation of Mastery Learning is considered effective in improving the quality of the learning process, strengthening conceptual understanding, and contributing to optimal and sustainable learning outcomes.
