FALACIES THAT COME AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MATHEMATICAL LOGIC THINKING

Abstract

The correct conduction of the formation and development of the logical thought, guarantees the students' cognitive independence, preparing them to direct their own learning. It constitutes a compulsory objective for the teaching of the Mathematical subject. However, the fact that it does not constitute an instructive objective, to where the teachers direct their interests habitually, places in disadvantage this purpose of the teaching of the Mathematics because it depends on the dedication, preparation and responsibility of the teachers that teach it. The process of teaching learning of the Mathematical subject is affected for the formalism in its assimilation. The existing divorce between the definitions of the concepts, its interpretation and its consequent practical application, brings about mechanical memorization of the contents and hinders understanding of its generalization and application on the part of the students. The development of logical thought and the linguistic formation must not be considered like a set of abilities achieved as an implicit way to the development of the abilities foreseen in the curriculum of the different levels and careers. It requires the intentionality and preparation for part of the teacher in addition to the interest to verify its achievement systematically like leader in the teaching process. The inadequate treatment of the mathematical concepts in the different teaching levels is considered by the authors of this paper, as a main cause of the insufficient development of the students' logical thought. The searching of solutions to transform the process of teaching learning of Mathematics is the purposes that inspire them.
