Formal Logic in Early Undergraduate Mathematics: A Cycle
Page: 581
Examining the understanding of formal logic by early undergraduates leads to the examination of a cycle within the broader scope of math education. Some early undergraduate students will eventually become pre-service teachers. The pre-service teachers will in turn become primary and secondary educators. Finally over time, some of their students will become undergraduates leading to a cycle. This poster proposes the idea that any change of curricula in undergraduate mathematics should have a ripple effect on the overall understanding of formal logic by students of all levels of education over a period of time as the cycle flows.
