Description

The new national curriculum emphasizes the importance of communication skills. However, theoretical frameworks or educational methods have not been discussed sufficiently. The authors aim to develop a curriculum by integrating theories and practice. The curriculum was implemented with university students between 1997 and 1999, and the results suggest the following : (1) the curriculum was effective in fostering logical thinking ability and persuasion skills (choosing between linear logic and configural logic by analyzing the rhetorical situation and the audience, (2) the curriculum was effective in fostering self-evaluation skills (categorizing the elements in a speech using a logic system, and judging the strengths and weaknesses of the argument), and (3) the experience of self-evaluation had a more significant effect on the students' improvement in logical thinking ability than did teacher-evaluation.
