Knight or Knave? Description and Evaluation of a Programme for the Introduction of Logic at Primary School
The purpose of this work is to present and analyse a primary school educational programme based on the study of logic. The programme introduces logic through three main channels: embodied cognition, linguistic reasoning, awareness of mistakes, and symbols. It supports the existing literature advocating the introduction of the study of logic in the early stages of education by presenting empirical evidence on how the educational path proposed increased both cognitive abilities and mathematical literacy in a second-grade primary school class.
