Remediation vs
Tutoring - What is the difference?
Remediation is the focusing on the development of a skill or process, rather
than the teaching of content within a particular subject, which tutoring
addresses. Within remedial instruction, the emphasis is on teaching processes
and strategies whether in reading, writing, spelling or math. For example,
if a student is having difficulty with math word problems, it is important
to determine whether these difficulties stem from a missed lesson (just
not being taught new work) or basic foundation skills, or whether difficulties
stem from Dyslexia involving reading comprehension problems, organization
difficulties involving sequencing the information or having a conceptual
understanding of when to use the appropriate computational skill.
With remedial instruction,
once the processes and strategies are in place, the learning of content
knowledge becomes much easier.
