Título :	Teaching logic: Cracking the hard nut
Palabras clave :	Educación;Didactics;logic;logica utens;l ogica docens;fallacies;logic in High School
Editorial :	Instituto Politécnico Nacional
Descripción :	Two questions are addressed in this article: 1) How to make the stu - dents realize the importance of logic; and 2) how to teach the logi - cal rules. The teacher may begin their logic class with an attempt to answer 1. Logic studies and records the basic moves of intelligence. When it analyses an argument A , it splits A into small steps. If each unit step seems to be intuitively right, then we accept A to be a valid argument. This splitting is the special skill of the logician. This skill helps one evaluate an ordinary argument in our day-to-day life. Ques - tion 2 is directly related to the didactics of logic. One may teach the rules of logic by demonstrating fallacies, i.e., by comparing the rules with their corresponding non-rules. If the teacher shows how the vio - lation of a rule leads one to an intuitively undesired conclusion the student, learns the importance of rules.
