The Learning Logic App: Testing the Effects of Context Ordering on Reasoning About Conditionals

• In Event: Design Cases in Diverse Learning Contexts

Abstract

This study tests a theory about the effects of context ordering on reasoning about conditionals. To test this theory, the researcher designed, tested, and revised an educational app which exposes learners to the four conditional contexts: intuitive, abstract, symbolic, and counterintuitive. Results of this study provide a window into the design process of a technological tool used to empirically test a theory and create a complete educational app.
