Abstract |
Questions contained in inference/argument problems of Korean LEET and PSAT are made for students s abilities of intelligence. We can find correct answers by judging/processing given data of deductive inference problems and inductive practical arguments problems logically. In order to improve students problem solving abilities, we can use early-made questions of LEET/PSAT/LSAT. By instructing them to students, they have got to gain interest in logic and to get more points in tests.
In this article, many tips are suggested for inference/argument questions. These are included: the basic structure of inference/argument, kinds of logical connectives, 4 kinds of categorical propositions and their meanings and relations, inferential schemas(or rules) for supplementing missing premises, universal propositions and existential propositions and their relations(especially existence-implying problems), and reconstructing given informations.
Understanding and exercising inference/argument early-tested questions of LEET/PSAT, not only students but also instructors of logic are able to understand it and improve logical inferential abilities. |
Key Words:
