This article describes a specific pedagogical context for an advanced logic course and presents a strategy that might facilitate students’ transition from the object-theoretical to the metatheoretical perspective on logic. The pedagogical context consists of philosophy students who in general have had little training in logic, except for a thorough introduction to syllogistics. The teaching strategy tries to exploit this knowledge of syllogistics, by emphasizing the analogies between ideas from metalogic and ideas from syllogistics, such as existential import, the distinction between contradictories and contraries, and the square of opposition. This strategy helps to improve students’ understanding of metalogic, because it allows the students to integrate these new ideas with their previously acquired knowledge of syllogistics.

使用三段论来教授元逻辑

本文描述了高级逻辑课程的特定教学背景，并提出了一种策略，可以促进学生从逻辑的对象理论视角过渡到元理论视角。教学环境由哲学学生组成，他们通常几乎没有受过逻辑训练，除了对三段论的全面介绍。教学策略试图利用三段论的这种知识，强调元逻辑的思想和三段论的思想之间的类比，例如存在意义、矛盾和对立之间的区别以及对立的平方。这种策略有助于提高学生对元逻辑的理解，因为它允许学生将这些新思想与他们先前获得的三段论知识相结合。
