Abstract

We present LogicProof, an interactive web-based theorem prover designed for educational use. The system supports natural deduction and sequent calculus for propositional and first-order logic in both classical and constructive variants. It emphasizes a modern user experience through real-time feedback and interactive visualization of proof trees. We evaluated LogicProof in a study involving 35 students. The results suggest that the system improves understanding of formal proof construction and supports student engagement with logical concepts. Compared to traditional pen-and-paper approaches, students reported faster iteration, easier error correction, and greater confidence in the correctness of their solutions. These findings indicate that LogicProof can serve as a practical supplement to existing teaching methods, particularly in supporting the learning process and reducing barriers associated with formal proof construction.
