“They had hoped to replace current methods – characterized by teacher led “telling” and student recitation – with curriculum packages that used “discovery” ”inquiry,” and inductive reasoning as methods of learning; the rationale was that students would find the field more interesting and would retain longer what they learned if they “figured out,” through carefully designed exercises or experiments (Ravich 324.” This method is utilized…

offered an alternative route to where science was; he did not see the need for observation, but instead highlighted the importance of other knowledge branches (Brysbaert & Rastle, 2009). Aristotle made the distinction between deductive and inductive reasoning, which was a different view compared to Plato.

Dupin dazzles the reader with his ratiocination skills (the process of logical reasoning) when he solves the crime in “The Mystery of Marie Roget” from simple interpretation of newspaper articles.
