Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to determine the effect of different types of instruction on the logical abilities of children. Sixteen classes, eight Grade 2 and eight Grade 3, were randomly assigned to four treatments (three experimental and one control)--two classes per treatment at each grade level. Class size was 25. The instruction in logic was provided once a week, approximately 50 minutes, for 13 weeks. The analysis of variance from three different posttests indicated that instruction has positive effects on certain logical abilities (p = .05). It would appear that children could profit by such instruction as early as the second grade.
