Competency based mastery learning strategy and micro-learning method are viable for quality teaching

Subsequent to this blogger's work being cited in a paper related to teaching in a journal as informed by Academia[see inset clip], Google (2026a & 2026) searches, informed, "Dr. Lalit Kishore is an Indian educator, researcher, and alternative education advocate from Jaipur who specializes in competency-based education, micro-learning, and activity-based science instruction." Core Principles of his Competency-Based Approach are the mastery learning strategy propelled on Bloom's Taxonomy at higher education level and Micro-Learning Models at school by breaking down complex subjects into bite-sized, digestible modules at the school level education to improve student retention and allow self-paced mastery.

Google (2026a) AI can provide futher details on: • His application of Jerome Bruner's Concept Attainment Model (CAM) • His work with the Lok Jumbish Project • Specific micro-learning frameworks for science or math

Google (2026b) informs that Kishore's PhD thesis, titled "Effect of mastery learning strategy upon achievement and scientific attitude of students," (Kishore, 1987) forms the foundation of his pedagogical models aimed at helping students [at MNSS, Rai, as sample of study] achieve deep conceptual clarity rather than relying on rote memorization.

His framework implements mastery learning through several interconnected core philosophy is mastery-driven study units and formative unit tests linked to supportive and corrective or remedial teaching. Instead of overwhelming students with massive and complex textbooks all at once, Dr. He emphasizes breaking subjects down into to manageable themes-structured study units. The study units are covered with self-paced progression allowing students absorb specific skills or concepts at their own individual pace. The emphasis is on retention and mastery study units or modules before moving on to the next, which drastically improves knowledge retention and practical competency without any learning gaps.
