Multiple Causal Modelling of Electrical Circuits for Enhancing Knowledge Intelligibility

An epistemological analysis of scientific knowledge and a cognitive analysis of learners’ knowledge structures are drawn together to develop criteria for planning an instructional sequence on introductory electricity.
