How does remediation work?
Remediation is a process that provides additional support to a student when they are struggling with a particular concept. When a student completes the learning workflow for a concept with a percentage lower than the set mastery percentage, they are scaffolded to a prerequisite concept. A prerequisite concept is a concept that serves as a foundation for the current concept. By completing the instruction and question items within the prerequisite concept, a student hopefully gains what they need to tackle the original concept. When there are multiple prerequisites and a student continues to struggle, the student will continue to scaffold down until they no longer struggle or there are no more prerequisites. Then they will go back up through the prerequisites to the original concept and start anew with the original concept.
Note: It is important to remember that remediation and scaffolding does not occur during an initial diagnostic. Instead, remediation and scaffolding takes place when a student completes the entire learning workflow for a concept.
