Abstract	The study explored preparation of 38 instructors of motor skills for the handicapped through a competency-based mastery learning format. Both mastery learning and non-mastery learning formats of instruction were used to train the potential teachers. A systems approach to training was employed in a performance-based practical competency-based format. The mastery learning format involved instructional inputs with protocols which related to practical events, student responses to materials to generalize instructional information, in-class drill with feedback to selected students. Out of class activity, on a volunteer basis, provided additional instruction, drill on concepts, peer evaluations for competency, and peer drill of content. The results indicated that the mastery learning activity produced higher achievement than non-mastery activity. More time was spent by the students per time value of credit awarded in mastery learning activity. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the time spent in preparation for the mastery learning component of the course and performance on the examination. Author/CL)
