ABSTRACT

The form-oriented education of logic makes it difficult to use forms of logic under indeterminate problematic situations because it dose not give any understanding upon the process by which such forms are produced. And the form-oriented education does not show that 'logic' is substantially related to our practical life, while falsely persuading the students of logic that 'forms' were previously given and fixed. Such an education of logic negatively effects that the students are further distanced from the so-called formal logic only with impressions of coldness and tediousness. In order to serve for the students of logic to cultivate the ability of logical thinking for practical problem solving, content should be coupled to form such that they be integrally conjugated. For this purpose, students are informed of the origin and the usage of forms: the forms of logic must be products of longstanding practical inquiries, continually corrected and newly produced, and we can utilize such forms as the leading principles of daily argumentation.
