模糊逻辑基于学生可以轻松理解的规则集，因为它们与自然语言非常相似。在环境教育框架内引入模糊逻辑被认为是必要的，以便提供对复杂环境相互作用的洞察。本文引入模糊推理作为假设预测论证的扩展，它允许研究替代假设。这是通过开发交互式计算机图形环境来实现的，该环境包含一组模糊逻辑分析工具和湖泊的模糊推理模型。模糊模型保证了模拟结果的科学完整性，图形界面仅向学生呈现了湖泊生态系统中环境压力源的可理解特征。所提出的图形界面是在学生的积极参与下，在连续的设计阶段开发的。学生们对图形界面的实验结果表明，他们对湖泊重大环境问题的理解得到了显着提高，一些误解也得到了解决。因此，它被认为有助于环境教育。
Fuzzy logic is based on sets of rules that can be easily understood by the students, since they bear a close resemblance to natural language. The introduction of fuzzy logic, within the framework of Environmental Education, is considered to be necessary in order to provide an insight to the complex environmental interactions. Fuzzy inference is introduced in this paper as an extension of hypothetico-predictive argumentation and it allows the investigation of alternative hypotheses. This is achieved through the development of an interactive computer graphics environment that encompasses a set of fuzzy logic analysis tools and a fuzzy inference model of a lake. The fuzzy model guarantees the scientific integrity of the simulation results, and the graphical interface presents to the students only the comprehensible characteristics of the environmental stressors in the ecosystem of the lake. The proposed graphical interface was developed in successive design stages, with the active participation of the students. The results of the students’ experimentation with the graphical interface indicate that their comprehension of the significant environmental problems of the lake is considerably improved and some misconceptions are resolved. Thus, it is considered valuable as an aid to environmental education.
