Learning outcomes
(K) Knowledge
The student analyzes the arguments presented in texts on education and the social sciences; explains basic logical terminology and clarifies the importance of sound reasoning for the analysis of concepts, theories, and arguments in education; describes types of logical fallacies; distinguishes between types of definitions and types of knowledge; explains basic concepts of logical calculus, particularly those related to syllogistics and propositional calculus.
(S) Skills
The student classifies and analyzes logical fallacies; applies basic syntactic categories; compares types of definitions and types of knowledge; applies elementary tools of logical calculus, particularly syllogistics and propositional calculus; distinguishes between reliable and unreliable reasoning; and evaluates the validity of simple arguments.
(C) Social Competencies
The student maintains a critical approach when expressing opinions; ensures that basic logical etiquette is observed in discussions; demonstrates responsibility in formulating oral and written statements; and shows a willingness to objectively evaluate their own and others’ arguments.
Assessment criteria
Grade 2.0 – The student does not know the definitions of basic concepts in logic; does not distinguish between basic syntactic categories, types of definitions, or elements of logical calculus.
Grade 3.0 – The student correctly defines basic logical concepts, distinguishes between basic syntactic categories and types of definitions, and identifies elements of logical calculus.
Grade 3.5 – The student correctly defines basic logical concepts, distinguishes between syntactic categories and types of definitions, and is able to apply them to the analysis of simple examples and arguments.
For a grade of 4.0 – the student correctly explains the meaning of basic logical concepts, analyzes syntactic categories and types of definitions, applies elements of propositional logic, and recognizes basic logical fallacies.
For a grade of 4.5 – the student proficiently uses logical terminology, analyzes and compares types of definitions and syntactic categories, applies logical calculus to solve typical problems, and correctly identifies various types of logical fallacies.
Grade 5.0 – the student independently and correctly applies basic concepts of logic, syntactic categories, types of definitions, and tools of logical calculus; analyzes and evaluates the correctness of reasoning, recognizes logical fallacies, and applies logical knowledge to critically evaluate arguments in practice.
