This paper reports on the development and implementation of an introductory course on electric circuits based on a constructivist model of curriculum development and teaching. Post-instruction interviews showed improved pupil understanding of several important basic concepts. The constructivist approach appeared to provide a viable and satisfactory basis for teachers' classroom decision making and for the structuring and sequencing of activities as the course progressed.
