使用形式逻辑进行推理的能力是计算机科学家和计算机工程师的基本技能，它支撑了设计，调试和优化的能力。通过采访学生对命题逻辑的理解和他们从英语规范到布尔表达式的翻译能力，我们描述了最近完成数字逻辑设计课程的学生的常见误解和新手解决问题的过程。我们提出这些结果，并讨论其对教学和发展的教学评估工具，称为概念库存的影响。
The ability to reason with formal logic is a foundational skill for computer scientists and computer engineers that scaffolds the abilities to design, debug, and optimize. By interviewing students about their understanding of propositional logic and their ability to translate from English specifications to Boolean expressions, we characterized common misconceptions and novice problem-solving processes of students who had recently completed a digital logic design class. We present these results and discuss their implications for instruction and the development of pedagogical assessment tools known as concept inventories.
