Cerebral Structure and Functionality for the Cognitive-Formal-Logical Area: Didactic Inputs for the Development of Logical Thinking

This project addresses the deficiency in logic and thought development training among university students, compounded by a lack of specific teaching capacity in Quito and a shortage of contextualized didactic materials. Current logic instruction relies heavily on unilateral exercises, failing to establish concrete connections with practical applications in fields such as technology, music, gaming, and computational models. The proposed solution involves developing new methodological tools. The research will utilize a mixed-methods approach to ensure both measurable data and in-depth qualitative understanding of the subject matter. An analytical and hypothetico-deductive methodology will be employed, supplemented by data collection via literature review, surveys, and interviews. The ultimate goal is to significantly enhance logic instruction by providing relevant didactic resources connected to the students' real-world context.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To generate innovative methodological tools to be incorporated into the teaching-learning processes of logic within the UPS degree programs. This will be achieved by analyzing current methodologies and identifying appropriate content to enhance logical skills in university students, aiming for improved teaching standards nationwide.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Study of the mental processes of the brain
