Abstract
A framework of triangle logic, a recomposition exercise environment of the triangle logic, and an experimental evaluation of the exercise are reported in this paper. The triangle logic is a graphical representation of a three-clause argument composed of Ground, Warrant, and Conclusion to simplify the Toulmin model. The three clauses are located at three vertices of a triangle, respectively. The recomposition exercise requires students to complete a triangle by selecting necessary clauses from provided candidates. The exercise environment can logically diagnose a recomposed triangle logic and give feedback to the student. We used a quasi-experimental, pretest, and posttest design to evaluate the exercise. Sixteen participants in the experimental group received the pretest, exercise, and posttest, and then fifteen participants in the control group received the pretest and posttest only. The interval between the pretest and posttest was a week. The exercise was conducted 40 min just before the posttest. As the results, the posttest score of the experiment group was statistically significantly improved compared to the pretest score, and the effect size was large, although the posttest score of the control group were not significantly improved compared to the pretest score.
