Causality and logic

Home Causality and logic

Module Overview

Originated by: Dr Eduardo Santos

Causality is what connects one process (the cause) with another process or state (the effect), where the first is partly responsible for the second, and the second is partly dependent on the first.

This module looks mental processes and how they are affected by logic and reasoning. Though it is basic to human thought, causality is a controversial topic because scientists and philosophers have had difficulties defining when one event truly causes another!

We will explore

  • What do we mean by cause and effect?
  • What is logic?
  • Everyday cause and effect
  • Puzzling out the logic!
  • Is there another way to see the situation?

Our programmes include a range of learning materials to support both teachers and students in the classroom. Content wise, each module is different but some components are common to all to provide assessment tools for teachers and familiar references for students.

This module includes

  • Lesson plan
  • PowerPoint presentation
  • Observation of thoughts
  • Teacher assessment
  • Class activities

We believe that some topics are approached more powerfully by bringing in animation. That is why some of the topics have videos to illustrate the learning points
