A teaching methodology of applied formal logic in social sciences courses

The use of new technologies in so many sectors changed the way of how economic activities are done. Because of this transformation, pedagogical processes of Social Sciences and Applied Social Sciences courses need deep attention and must restructured. Since this is not an easy task, educator and undergraduate programs' coordinators sometimes become insecure. This paper presents a teaching methodology of basic Applied Formal Logic that, if properly used, can assist professors to better deal with new technologies and help them to reduce their uncertainty. Once this methodology can be applied in the solution of different real problems, it can be useful teaching basic concepts of Applied Logic, traditionally present in Computer Science courses. It provides a steady theoretical formation, enhances the development of logical and formal reasoning and practical abilities. This methodology has been used and tested in undergraduate courses in Schools of Business Administration and Economics. This experience contributed to construct new paradigm of technology education.
