being able to use reason and logic Explanation: using mental processes to work out what something means (at any level of school) and reach a conclusion. And why maths is an obligatory subject if sonmeone is good at academic reasonong they can apply this method of using logic and calculation to work out lots of things, for themselves, or in other fields/projects https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reasoning -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2019-11-19 18:05:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- all steps in the reasoning process should also be written down or explained -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2019-11-19 18:10:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, once someone has learned how to use academic reasoning in theoretical situations, they can apply this to everyday life. Of course young children are asked to work on very basic problems but they are all steps in the learning process of being able to reason. Here is another definition of reasoning https://www.monash.edu/rlo/research-writing-assignments/crit... "Reasoning is the ability to think logically to formulate fair judgements and justify a position. In other words, it is about identifying, analysing and evaluating arguments. In our study, in the workplace and in our everyday lives we need to make decisions, solve problems, formulate judgements and skilfully persuade. This can be difficult when there is so much information available, and so many competing perspectives. We could just flip a coin as a method to determine what to think. This may be correct 50% of the time, but this is not a very effective or reliable method. We want to make good decisions 100% of the time (or as close as possible) and be able to provide good justification for the choices that we do make - so we need to be proficient in the art of reasoning." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2019-11-19 18:14:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- yes Haribert, the word !"academic" has several meanings but it's not just about higher education or university. https://www.yourdictionary.com/academic academic of colleges, universities, etc.; scholastic; scholarly having to do with general or liberal rather than technical or vocational education of or belonging to an academy of scholars, artists, etc. following fixed rules or conventions; pedantic or formalistic: an academic style of painting merely theoretical; having no direct practical application: an academic question -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2019-11-19 18:20:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.definitions.net/definition/academic -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2019-11-19 18:33:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- theoretical and speculative reasoning is mainly what this is -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 1 hr (2019-11-20 19:47:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.ie/books?id=zI15AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA262&lpg=P... https://books.google.ie/books?id=7Cjgn3-YsjEC&pg=PT66&lpg=PT... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 19 hrs (2019-11-21 13:45:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello Haribert, no I don't think that does it at all. I would not use "cross-curricular" as this is a fundamental formal way of reasoning. In fact "formal" or "trained" might be useful. But I repeat, it's (scholarly) theoretical, abstract, specialised, analytical reasoning that follows rules of logic and supporting argument with evidence to reach conclusions based on initial premises (evidence/facts) It's STRUCTURED reasoning using logic. I looked up a few dictionaries English> italian to see if I could see anything that might for since you say you can't use 'accademico'. I think some of these in WR might be useful? https://www.wordreference.com/iten/istruito How about istruito https://www.wordreference.com/iten/istruito or erudito https://www.wordreference.com/iten/erudito or teorico, intellettuale -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 20 hrs (2019-11-21 14:00:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I had a look at your En> It question and you seem hung up on "cross-curricular/interdisciplinary". Really these are not the important aspects here and it would be misleading in my view to use those words. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 20 hrs (2019-11-21 14:27:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Glad to help but I'd use an extra word with "astratto" because you have nothing there to express the scholarly part, hence why I made other suggestions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 20 hrs (2019-11-21 14:39:53 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 21 hrs (2019-11-21 15:02:18 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hmm, I'd prefer "critical thinking" which is a far more common way to say that. I don't like "higher" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking "abilità di ragionamento astratto/logiche di ordine superiore" See if my gloss gives you other ideas |
