Abstract

In this paper we present the results of student testing, from two technical colleges at Banja Luka University, on understanding and applying the logical implication and its contraposive in a realworld
situation. The findings support our belief that the tested population has insufficient knowledge of these logical concepts. Furthermore, we argue that these results could reveal the critical link between conceptual and procedural knowledge of these logical tools.
