Investigation on the Integration of Higher Education Logic Instruction and Cognitive Development

In the realm of higher education, the instruction of logic plays a crucial role in cultivating the intellectual prowess and analytical acumen of college students. However, the conventional teaching methods often lean towards a theoretical approach, which proves to be challenging in effectively achieving the desired outcomes. In light of this, this research endeavors to address this issue by proposing an outcome-based education (OBE) framework for logic instruction targeted at undergraduate students from non-philosophy disciplines and postgraduate students from non-logic fields. This innovative approach encompasses the utilization of case-based teaching methodologies, fostering subjective initiative, and transforming the assessment methods. The primary objective of this study is to bridge the gap between abstract logical knowledge and the practical application of logical thinking abilities among college students, enabling them to adapt seamlessly to the future demands of both academia and the professional world. Emphasizing the significance of logic instruction in higher education, this research places particular emphasis on nurturing students’ logical thinking capabilities that are relevant to their respective disciplines. By doing so, it aims to elevate their cognitive aptitude and enhance their overall capacity for learning.
