That is always a major road bump when students are being taught outside of class to memorize procedures first prior to understanding. It happens for those who get tutored as well as by parents at home. However, that is where the 3 part framework can still help as students often don’t recognize (due to their lack of understanding) that the task they are working with initially is the same concept as the procedure they’ve already memorized. It can still come out in the wash “ok” with no harm done!
