This is not really a gifted issue - most students do this. Being able to follow directions is important and this needs to be discussed. Having students write directions is a good start.
This is actually the way students work now - just do it and ask questions later. However, this will bite them. If they advance in science or computers, they have to learn this.
This is where the basics end and the higher level learning is beginning. It is hard for them to slow down. Gifties often begin to have problems at this point until they mature. Would you want a surgeon or pharmacist to take short cuts?
