Default mastery criteria settings may not be appropriate for all learners or all skills. They can be adjusted at the skill level by following these steps:
- In the “Clinical” and “Programming” section, select “View more info” for the skill you wish to modify the criteria for.
For Playlist Mastery Criteria Settings:
- Response % refers to the minimum percentage correct or independent the learner must attain out of all trials completed. For Probe data, a session will always have 100% or 0% since only 1 probe is completed per session.
- Consecutive sessions refers to how many sessions in total must the learner achieve the desired response % before the target is moved to maintenance or mastered.
- First Trial must be independent refers to the requirement that the very first trial within a session must be independent for that sessions response % to count towards mastery criteries. For instance, if this setting is set to YES and a learner gets 90% correct/independent within a session, but the first trial was incorrect/prompted, then this session will not count towards mastery criteria.
- Minimum number of trials to qualify for mastery criteria refers to how many trials at minimum should be completed within a session by a therapist for a session’s data to count towards mastery criteria. For instance, if the minimum is set to 3 trials and the therapist only completes 1 trial for a target within the session, even if that trial is correct/independent (i.e. session = 100%), that session will not count towards mastery criteria. It is recommended that the default bet set low (e.g. 1, 2, or 3 trials)
- Minimum number of therapists refers to how many therapists must have completed a session at mastery criteria level for a target to meet criteria. It is recommended that the default be set to 1.
For Maintenance Mastery Criteria Settings:
- Targets mastered in Playlist go to refers to what happens to a target after it meets mastery criteria in the playlist. Targets can be moved to maintenance to be maintained for a certain number of trials or mastered to no longer be completed.
- Maintenance Failure refers to the criteria of when a target should be placed on hold or moved back to the playlist.
- Maintenance Success refers to the criteria of when a target should be mastered or be kept in maintenance.
