Abstract
English In this new approach to the presentation of the electric circuit, the three fundamental terms current, voltage, and resistance are introduced simultaneously in a qualitative way, using the system aspect of the electric circuit as an integrative base. The starting point to this is the individual knowledge and the conceptional schemes that students bring into the classroom. This approach is in contrast to the traditional one, where the single terms are introduced in a linear sequence, according to the structure of the discipline and based on measurement operations.Keywords
