Teaching natural deduction in the right order with Natural Deduction Planner
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a strategy-based approach to teaching natural deduction using a notation that emphasises the order in which deductions are constructed, together with a LATEX package and Java app to aid in the production of teaching resources and classroom demonstrations. Our approach is aimed at students with little exposure to mathematical method and has been developed while teaching undergraduate classes for philosophy students over the last ten years. 1998 ACM Subject Classification K.3.1 Computer Uses in Education

Friendly e-tutor for Natural Deduction
Pandora is a tool to support the learning of first order natural deduction. It includes a help window, an interactive context sensitive tutorial known as the “e-tutor” and facilities to save, reload and export to LTEX. Every attempt to apply a natural deduction rule is met with either success or a helpful error message, providing the student with instant feedback. This paper describes the e-tut...
متن کاملGentzen-Prawitz Natural Deduction as a Teaching Tool
We report a four-years experiment in teaching reasoning to undergraduate students, ranging from weak to gifted, using GentzenPrawitz’s style natural deduction. We argue that this pedagogical approach is a good alternative to the use of Boolean algebra for teaching reasoning, especially for computer scientists and formal methods practioners.

متن کاملTeaching Natural Deduction as a Subversive Activity
In this paper we argue that sequent proofs systems are a better deductive apparatus for introducing proofs to students than are natural deduction systems. Natural deduction derivations of superintuitionistic theorems (theorems of classical logic that are not intuitionistically valid) require indirect and often obtuse constructions. Constructing derivations in sequent systems is uniform, driven ...
متن کاملFocused Natural Deduction
Natural deduction for intuitionistic linear logic is known to be full of non-deterministic choices. In order to control these choices, we combine ideas from intercalation and focusing to arrive at the calculus of focused natural deduction. The calculus is shown to be sound and complete with respect to first-order intuitionistic linear natural deduction and the backward linear focusing calculus.
