The first group was taught ESP on activities based on deductive reasoning, detecting patterns, logical thinking and problem-solving tasks.
In this education model based on deductive analysis, it was seen that buildings, which have basic forms, were easily drawn; however, they could not solve the shaping logic of deformed froms.
The study is based on deductive and inductive content analysis of transcribed discourse data from six Change Laboratory sessions.
Included is a sidebar on Tyler's role that ends with: "His assessment was based on deductive reasoning with limited information and two days' experience.
Inductive content analysis was used as this study was not based on deductive theories (25).
Investigations in logic after Aristotle (from later antiquity through the twentieth century) seem to have focused exclusively on deductive logic.
As emphasized in a joke attributed to American philosopher Morris Raphael Cohen (1880 1947), logic texts had to be divided in two parts: in the first part, on deductive logic, unwarranted forms of inference (deductive fallacies) are exposed; in the second part, on inductive logic, they are endorsed (see Meehl 1990, 110).
He gives preference to Democritus' natural philosophy in contrast to the scholastic and thus Aristotelian focus on deductive logic and belief in authorities.
The next step is to develop "deep specifications" — gritty, precise descriptions of the behavior of software based on formal logic (deductive reasoning, the use of syllogisms and mathematics) — that will enable engineers not only to build bug-free programs but to verify that their programs behave exactly as they should.
Technical design relies on deductive reasoning thinking based on logic and analysis.
One of the most studied forms of deductive reasoning is linear order reasoning, which is based on the logic of transitivity (for a review, see Halford et al. 1998; Leth-Steensen and Marley 2000), i.e., for any A, B and C, if A > B and B > C then logically A > C.
