Abstract
This paper presents a unique participatory approach to design Logic-Muse, an Intelligent Tutoring System that helps learners develop reasoning skills in multiple contexts. The study was conducted jointly with the active participation of experts in the field of logic and the psychology of reasoning. A catalogue of systematic errors in logical reasoning situations was built, followed by an explicit representation of the semantic knowledge behind reasoning as well as reasoning procedural structures and meta-structures. All these basic components were intensively argued with and internally validated by experts. The first implementation of Logic-Muse focused on classical propositional logic and is used to support learners in their reasoning in a wide range of situations including causal concrete authentic situations as well as abstract formal ones. During the reasoning problem solving, the system provides effective feedback following a thorough cognitive diagnosis of the learner errors.
