 Second
Barrier to Study
Too steep a study gradient
A gradient is a way of learning or doing
something step by step. A gradient can be easy where each step can be
done easily, or it can be hard where each step is difficult to do.
Too steep a gradient consists of not having
mastered prior skills before going on to more complicated or detailed
steps.
A student who has skipped a gradient may
feel a sort of confusion or a feeling of reeling (i.e. moving or swaying
like you might fall).
These are two reactions a person will have when they have missed a step
or hit too steep a gradient in the subject they're studying.
This is often referred to as "missed
basic skills" or "insufficient basic skills."
