Module Overview

Originated by: Dr Adam Grief

Rationality is the mental quality or state of being rational – that is, being based on or agreeable to reason. Rationality implies the conformity of a person’s beliefs with their reasons to believe, and of a person’s actions with their reasons for action. “Rationality” has different specialized meanings in philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, game theory and political science.

This module looks at rationality from the standpoint of philosophy. (It is also possible to discuss rationality from the standpoint of psychology)

We will explore

  • Introduction to rationality
  • Logical thinking
  • Aiming for the truth
  • Reasoning
  • Making rational judgements

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
